View of the Lake of Geneva from the Jura Anxious to reach it before the Sun went down Obliged to proceed on Foot Alps Mont Blanc Effect of the Scene	A
	-
	-
'Twas late the sun had almost shone	B
His last and best when I ran on	C
Anxious to reach that splendid view	D
Before the daybeams quite withdrew	D
And feeling as all feel on first	E
Approaching scenes where they are told	F
Such glories on their eyes will burst	E
As youthful bards in dreams behold	F
	-
'Twas distant yet and as I ran	G
Full often was my wistful gaze	H
Turned to the sun who now began	G
To call in all his out posts rays	H
And form a denser march of light	I
Such as beseems a hero's flight	I
Oh how I wisht for JOSHUA'S power	J
To stay the brightness of that hour	J
But no the sun still less became	K
Diminisht to a speck as splendid	L
And small as were those tongues of flame	K
That on the Apostles' heads descended	L
	-
'Twas at this instant while there glowed	M
This last intensest gleam of light	I
Suddenly thro' the opening road	M
The valley burst upon my sight	I
That glorious valley with its Lake	N
And Alps on Alps in clusters swelling	O
Mighty and pure and fit to make	N
The ramparts of a Godhead's dwelling	O
	-
I stood entranced as Rabbins say	P
This whole assembled gazing world	Q
Will stand upon that awful day	P
When the Ark's Light aloft unfurled	Q
Among the opening clouds shall shine	R
Divinity's own radiant sign	R
	-
Mighty MONT BLANC thou wert to me	S
That minute with thy brow in heaven	T
As sure a sign of Deity	S
As e'er to mortal gaze was given	T
Nor ever were I destined yet	U
To live my life twice o'er again	V
Can I the deep felt awe forget	U
The dream the trance that rapt me then	V
	-
'Twas all that consciousness of power	J
And life beyond this mortal hour	J
Those mountings of the soul within	W
At thoughts of Heaven as birds begin	W
By instinct in the cage to rise	X
When near their time for change of skies	X
That proud assurance of our claim	K
To rank among the Sons of Light	I
Mingled with shame oh bitter shame	K
At having riskt that splendid right	I
For aught that earth thro' all its range	Y
Of glories offers in exchange	Y
'Twas all this at that instant brought	Z
Like breaking sunshine o'er my thought	Z
'Twas all this kindled to a glow	A2
Of sacred zeal which could it shine	R
Thus purely ever man might grow	A2
Even upon earth a thing divine	R
And be once more the creature made	B2
To walk unstained the Elysian shade	B2
	-
No never shall I lose the trace	C2
Of what I've felt in this bright place	C2
And should my spirit's hope grow weak	D2
Should I oh God e'er doubt thy power	J
This mighty scene again I'll seek	D2
At the same calm and glowing hour	J
And here at the sublimest shrine	R
That Nature ever reared to Thee	S
Rekindle all that hope divine	R
And feel my immortality	S
