Child of loud throated War the mountain StreamA
Roars in thy hearing but thy hour of restB
Is come and thou art silent in thy ageC
Save when the wind sweeps by and sounds are caughtD
Ambiguous neither wholly thine nor theirsE
Oh there is life that breathes not Powers there areF
That touch each other to the quick in modesG
Which the gross world no sense hath to perceiveH
No soul to dream of What art Thou from careI
Cast off abandoned by thy rugged SireJ
Nor by soft Peace adopted though in placeK
And in dimension such that thou might'st seemA
But a mere footstool to yon sovereign LordL
Huge Cruachan a thing that meaner hillsM
Might crush nor know that it had suffered harmN
Yet he not loth in favour of thy claimsO
To reverence suspends his own submittingP
All that the God of Nature hath conferredQ
All that he holds in common with the starsR
To the memorial majesty of TimeS
Impersonated in thy calm decayT
Take then thy seat Vicegerent unreprovedQ
Now while a farewell gleam of evening lightQ
Is fondly lingering on thy shattered frontQ
Do thou in turn be paramount and ruleU
Over the pomp and beauty of a sceneV
Whose mountains torrents lake and woods uniteQ
To pay thee homage and with these are joinedQ
In willing admiration and respectQ
Two Hearts which in thy presence might be calledQ
Youthful as Spring Shade of departed PowerJ
Skeleton of unfleshed humanityQ
The chronicle were welcome that should callW
Into the compass of distinct regardQ
The toils and struggles of thy infant yearsX
Yon foaming flood seems motionless as iceY
Its dizzy turbulence eludes the eyeZ
Frozen by distance so majestic PileA2
To the perception of this Age appearB2
Thy fierce beginnings softened and subduedQ
And quieted in character the strifeC2
The pride the fury uncontrollableD2
Lost on the aerial heights of the CrusadesE2

William Wordsworth
