| In his steep course So long he seems to pause | B |
| On thy bald awful head O sovran BLANC | C |
| The Arve and Arveiron at thy base | D |
| Rave ceaselessly but thou most awful Form | E |
| Risest from forth thy silent sea of pines | F |
| How silently Around thee and above | G |
| Deep is the air and dark substantial black | H |
| An ebon mass methinks thou piercest it | I |
| As with a wedge But when I look again | J |
| It is thine own calm home thy crystal shrine | K |
| Thy habitation from eternity | L |
| O dread and silent Mount I gazed upon thee | L |
| Till thou still present to the bodily sense | M |
| Didst vanish from my thought entranced in prayer | N |
| I worshipped the Invisible alone | O |
| - | |
| Yet like some sweet beguiling melody | L |
| So sweet we know not we are listening to it | I |
| Thou the meanwhile wast blending with my Thought | P |
| Yea with my Life and Life's own secret joy | Q |
| Till the dilating Soul enrapt transfused | R |
| Into the mighty vision passing there | N |
| As in her natural form swelled vast to Heaven | S |
| - | |
| Awake my soul not only passive praise | T |
| Thou owest not alone these swelling tears | U |
| Mute thanks and secret ecstasy Awake | V |
| Voice of sweet song Awake my heart awake | V |
| Green vales and icy cliffs all join my Hymn | W |
| - | |
| Thou first and chief sole sovereign of the Vale | X |
| O struggling with the darkness all the night | Y |
| And visited all night by troops of stars | Z |
| Or when they climb the sky or when they sink | A2 |
| Companion of the morning star at dawn | B2 |
| Thyself Earth's rosy star and of the dawn | B2 |
| Co herald wake O wake and utter praise | T |
| Who sank thy sunless pillars deep in Earth | C2 |
| Who filled thy countenance with rosy light | Y |
| Who made thee parent of perpetual streams | D2 |
| - | |
| And you ye five wild torrents fiercely glad | E2 |
| Who called you forth from night and utter death | F2 |
| From dark and icy caverns called you forth | G2 |
| Down those precipitous black jagg d rocks | H2 |
| For ever shattered and the same for ever | I2 |
| Who gave you your invulnerable life | J2 |
| Your strength your speed your fury and your joy | Q |
| Unceasing thunder and eternal foam | K2 |
| And who commanded and the silence came | L2 |
| Here let the billows stiffen and have rest | M2 |
| - | |
| Ye Ice falls ye that from the mountain's brow | N2 |
| Adown enormous ravines slope amain | B2 |
| Torrents methinks that heard a mighty voice | O2 |
| And stopped at once amid their maddest plunge | P2 |
| Motionless torrents silent cataracts | Q2 |
| Who made your glorious as the Gates of Heaven | B2 |
| Beneath the keen full moon Who bade the sun | B2 |
| Clothe you with rainbows Who with living flowers | R2 |
| Of loveliest blue spread garlands at your feet | S2 |
| God let the torrents like a shout of nations | T2 |
| Answer and let the ice plains echo God | U2 |
| God sing ye meadow streams with gladsome voice | O2 |
| Ye pine groves with your soft and soul like sounds | V2 |
| And they too have a voice yon piles of snow | B2 |
| And in their perilous fall shall thunder God | U2 |
| - | |
| Ye living flowers that skirt the eternal frost | W2 |
| Ye wild goats sporting round the eagle's nest | M2 |
| Yet eagles play mates of the mountain storm | E |
| Ye lightnings the dread arrows of the clouds | X2 |
| Ye signs and wonders of the element | Y2 |
| Utter forth God and fill the hills with praise | T |
| - | |
| Thou too hoar Mount with thy sky pointing peaks | Z2 |
| Oft from whose feet the avalanche unheard | A3 |
| Shoots downward glittering through the pure serene | B2 |
| Into the depth of clouds that veil thy breast | M2 |
| Thou too again stupendous Mountain thou | N2 |
| That as I raise my head awhile bowed low | B2 |
| In adoration upward from thy base | D |
| Slow travelling with dim eyes suffused with tears | U |
| Solemnly seemest like a vapoury cloud | B3 |
| To rise before me Rise O ever rise | C3 |
| Rise like a cloud of incense from the Earth | C2 |
| Thou kingly Spirit throned among the hills | D3 |
| Thou dread ambassador from Earth to Heaven | B2 |
| Great Hierarch tell thou the silent sky | E3 |
| And tell the stars and tell yon rising sun | B2 |
| Earth with her thousand voices praises God | U2 |
