WHERE on the bosom of the foamy RHINE	A
In curling waves the rapid waters shine	A
Where tow'ring cliffs in awful grandeur rise	B
And midst the blue expanse embrace the skies	B
The wond'ring eye beholds yon craggy height	C
Ting'd with the glow of Evening's fading light	C
Where the fierce cataract swelling o'er its bound	D
Bursts from its source and dares the depth profound	D
On ev'ry side the headlong currents flow	E
Scatt'ring their foam like silv'ry sands below	E
From hill to hill responsive echoes sound	D
Loud torrents roar and dashing waves rebound	D
Th' opposing rock the azure stream divides	F
The white froth tumbling down its sparry sides	F
From fall to fall the glitt'ring channels flow	E
'Till lost they mingle in the Lake below	E
Tremendous spot amid thy views sublime	G
The mental sight ethereal realms may climb	G
With wonder rapt the mighty work explore	H
Confess TH' ETERNAL'S pow'r and pensively adore	H
	-
ALL VARYING NATURE oft the outstretch'd eye	I
Marks o'er the WELKIN's brow the meteor fly	I
Marks where the COMET with impetuous force	J
O'er Heaven's wide concave skims its fiery course	J
While on the ALPINE steep thin vapours rise	B
Float on the blast or freeze amidst the skies	B
Or half congeal'd in flaky fragments glide	K
Along the gelid mountain's breezy side	K
Or mingling with the waste of yielding snow	E
From the vast height in various currents flow	E
	-
Now pale ey'd MORNING at thy soft command	L
O'er the rich landscape spreads her dewy hand	L
Swift o'er the plain the lucid rivers fly	I
Imperfect mirrors of the dappled sky	I
On the fring'd margin of the dimpling tide	K
Each od'rous bud by FLORA'S pencil dy'd	K
Expands its velvet leaves of lust'rous hue	M
Bath'd in the essence of celestial dew	M
While from the METEOR to the simplest FLOW R	N
Prolific Nature we behold thy pow'r	N
Yet has mysterious Heaven with care consign'd	O
Thy noblest triumphs to the human mind	O
MAN feels the proud preeminence impart	P
Intrepid firmness to his swelling heart	P
Creation's lord where'er HE bends his way	Q
The torch of REASON spreads its godlike ray	Q
	-
As o'er SIClLlAN sands the Trav'ler roves	B
Feeds on its fruits and shelters in its groves	B
Sudden amidst the calm retreat he hears	B
The pealing thunders in the distant spheres	B
He sees the curling fumes from ETNA rise	B
Shade the green vale and blacken all the skies	B
Around his head the forked lightnings glare	R
The vivid streams illume the stagnant air	R
The nodding hills hang low'ring o'er the deep	S
The howling winds the clust'ring vineyards sweep	S
The cavern'd rocks terrific tremours rend	P
Low to the earth the tawny forests bend	P
While He an ATOM in the direful scene	T
Views the wild CHAOS wond'ring and serene	T
Tho' at his feet sulphureous rivers roll	U
No touch of terror shakes his conscious soul	U
His MIND enlighten'd by PROMETHEAN rays	B
Expanding glows with intellectual blaze	B
	-
Such scenes long since th' immortal POET charm'd	P
His MUSE enraptur'd and his FANCY warm'd	P
From them he learnt with magic eye t' explore	H
The dire ARCANUM of the STYGIAN shore	H
Where the departed spirit trembling hurl'd	P
With restless violence round the pendent world	P
On the swift wings of whistling whirlwinds flung	V
Plung'd in the wave or on the mountain hung	V
	-
While o'er yon cliff the ling'ring fires of day	P
In ruby shadows faintly glide away	P
The glassy source that feeds the CATARACT's stream	W
Bears the last image of the solar beam	W
Wide o'er the Landscape Nature's tints disclose	B
The softest picture of sublime repose	B
The sober beauties of EVE'S hour serene	T
The scatter'd village now but dimly seen	T
The neighb'ring rock whose flinty brow inclin'd	P
Shields the clay cottage from the northern wind	P
The variegated woodlands scarce we view	M
The distant mountains ting'd with purple hue	M
Pale twilight flings her mantle o'er the skies	B
From the still lake the misty vapours rise	B
Cold show'rs descending on the western breeze	B
Sprinkle with lucid drops the bending trees	B
Whose spreading branches o'er the glade reclin'd	P
Wave their dank leaves and murmur to the wind	P
	-
Such scenes O LOUTHERBOURG thy pencil fir'd	P
Warm'd thy great mind and every touch inspir'd	P
Beneath thy hand the varying colours glow	E
Vast mountains rise and crystal rivers flow	E
Thy wond'rous Genius owns no pedant rule	X
Nature's thy guide and Nature's works thy school	X
Pursue her steps each rival's art defy	I
For while she charms THY NAME shall never die	I
