Lines written in the Vale of Chamouni	A
	-
	-
	-
The everlasting universe of things	B
Flows through the mind and rolls its rapid waves	C
Now dark now glittering now reflecting gloom	D
Now lending splendor where from secret springs	B
The source of human thought its tribute brings	B
Of waters with a sound but half its own	A
Such as a feeble brook will oft assume	D
In the wild woods amon the mountains lone	A
Where waterfalls around it leap for ever	E
Where woods and winds contend and a vast river	E
Over its rocks ceaselessly bursts and raves	C
	-
	-
	-
Thus thou Ravine of Arve dark deep Ravine	A
Thou many colored many voiced vale	F
Over whose pines and crags and caverns sail	F
Fast cloud shadows and sunbeams awful scene	A
Where Power in likeness of the Arve comes down	A
From the ice gulfs that gird his secret throne	A
Bursting through these dark mountains like the flame	G
Of lightning through the tempest thou dost lie	H
Thy giant brood of pines around thee clinging	I
Children of elder time in whose devotion	A
The chainless winds still come and ever came	G
To drink their odors and their mighty swinging	I
To hear an old and solemn harmony	A
Thine earthly rainbows stretched across the sweep	J
Of the ethereal waterfall whose veil	F
Robes some unsculptured image the strange sleep	J
Which when the voices of the desert fail	F
Wraps all in its own deep eternity	A
Thy caverns echoing to the Arve's commotion	A
A loud lone sound no other sound can tame	G
Thou art pervaded with that ceaseless motion	A
Thou art the path of that unresting sound	K
Dizzy Ravine and when I gaze on thee	A
I seem as in a trance sublime and strange	L
To muse on my own separate fantasy	A
My own my human mind which passively	A
Now renders and receives fast influencings	A
Holding an unremitting interchange	L
With the clear universe of things around	K
One legion of wild thoughts whose wandering wings	A
Now float above thy darkness and now rest	M
Where that or thou art no unbidden guest	M
In the still cave of the witch Poesy	A
Seeking among the shadows that pass by	H
Ghosts of all things that are some shade of thee	A
Some phantom some faint image till the breast	M
From which they fled recalls them thou art there	N
	-

Some say that gleams of a remoter world	O
Visit the soul in sleep that death is slumber	E
And that its shapes the busy thoughts outnumber	E
Of those who wake and live I look on high	H
Has some unknown omnipotence unfurled	O
The veil of life and death or do I lie	H
In dream and does the mightier world of sleep	J
Spread far and round and inaccessibly	H
Its circles For the very spirit fails	A
Driven like a homeless cloud from steep to steep	J
That vanishes amon the viewless gales	A
Far far above piercing the infinite sky	H
Mont Blanc appears still snowy and serene	A
Its subject mountains their unearthly forms	A
Pile around it ice and rock broad vales between	A
Of frozen floods unfathomable deeps	A
Blue as the overhanging heaven that spread	P
And wind among the accumulated steeps	A
A desert peopled by the storms alone	A
Save when the eagle brings some hunter's bone	A
And the wolf tracks her there how hideously	H
Its shapes are heaped around rude bare and high	H
Ghastly and scarred and riven Is this the scene	A
Where the old Earthquake demon taught her young	Q
Ruin Were these their toys or did a sea	H
Of fire envelop once this silent snow	A
None can reply all seems eternal now	A
The wilderness has a mysterious tongue	Q
Which teaches awful doubt or faith so mild	R
So solemn so serene that man may be	H
But for such faith with nature reconciled	R
Thou hast a voice great Mountain to repeal	H
Large codes of fraud and woe not understood	S
By all but which the wise and great and good	S
Interpret or make felt or deeply feel	H
	-
	-
	-
The fields the lakes the forests and the streams	A
Ocean and all the living things that dwell	H
Within the daedal earth lightning and rain	A
Earthquake and fiery flood and hurricane	A
The torpor of the year when feeble dreams	A
Visit the hidden buds or dreamless sleep	J
Holds every future leaf and flower the bound	K
With which from that detested trance they leap	J
The works and ways of man their death and birth	T
And that of him and all that his may be	H
All things that move and breathe with toil and sound	K
Are born and die revolve subside and swell	H
Power dwells apart in its tranquility	H
Remote serene and inaccessible	H
And this the naked countenance of earth	T
On which I gaze even these primeval mountains	A
Teach the adverting mind The glaciers creep	J
Like snakes that watch their prey from their far fountains	A
Slow rolling on there many a precipice	A
Frost and the Sun in scorn of mortal power	E
Have piled dome pyramid and pinnacle	H
A city of death distinct with many a tower	E
And wall impregnable of beaming ice	A
Yet not a city but a flood of ruin	A
Is there that from the boundaries of the sky	H
Rolls its perpetual stream vast pines are strewing	H
Its destined path or in the mangled soil	H
Branchless and shattered stand the rocks drawn down	A
From yon remotest waste have overthrown	A
The limits of the dead and living world	O
Never to be reclaimed The dwelling place	A
Of insects beasts and birds becomes its spoil	H
Their food and their retreat for ever gone	A
So much of life and joy is lost The race	A
Of man flies far in dread his work and dwelling	H
Vanish like smoke before the tempest's stream	U
And their place is not known Below vast caves	A
Shine in the rushing torrents' restless gleam	U
Which from those secret chasms in tumult welling	H
Meet in the vale and one majestic River	E
The breath and blood of distant lands for ever	E
Rolls its loud waters to the ocean waves	A
Breathes its swift vapors to the circling air	N
	-
	-
	-
Mont Blanc yet gleams on high the power is there	N
The still and solemn power of many sights	A
And many sounds and much of life and death	V
In the calm darkness of the moonless nights	A
In the lone glare of day the snows descend	W
Upon that mountain none beholds them there	N
Nor when the flakes burn in the sinking sun	A
Or the star beams dart through them Winds contend	W
Silently there and heap the snow with breath	V
Rapid and strong but silently Its home	X
The voiceless lightning in these solitudes	A
Keeps innocently and like vapor broods	A
Over the snow The secret Strength of things	A
Which governs thought and to the infinite dome	X
Of Heaven is as a law inhabits thee	H
And what were thou and earth and stars and sea	H
If to the human mind's imaginings	H
Silence and solitude were vacancy	H
