Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKALMNOPQRS TQQQUVQQQQJQWQXYZA2B 2QC2D2E2Child of loud throated War the mountain Stream | A |
Roars in thy hearing but thy hour of rest | B |
Is come and thou art silent in thy age | C |
Save when the wind sweeps by and sounds are caught | D |
Ambiguous neither wholly thine nor theirs | E |
Oh there is life that breathes not Powers there are | F |
That touch each other to the quick in modes | G |
Which the gross world no sense hath to perceive | H |
No soul to dream of What art Thou from care | I |
Cast off abandoned by thy rugged Sire | J |
Nor by soft Peace adopted though in place | K |
And in dimension such that thou might'st seem | A |
But a mere footstool to yon sovereign Lord | L |
Huge Cruachan a thing that meaner hills | M |
Might crush nor know that it had suffered harm | N |
Yet he not loth in favour of thy claims | O |
To reverence suspends his own submitting | P |
All that the God of Nature hath conferred | Q |
All that he holds in common with the stars | R |
To the memorial majesty of Time | S |
Impersonated in thy calm decay | T |
Take then thy seat Vicegerent unreproved | Q |
Now while a farewell gleam of evening light | Q |
Is fondly lingering on thy shattered front | Q |
Do thou in turn be paramount and rule | U |
Over the pomp and beauty of a scene | V |
Whose mountains torrents lake and woods unite | Q |
To pay thee homage and with these are joined | Q |
In willing admiration and respect | Q |
Two Hearts which in thy presence might be called | Q |
Youthful as Spring Shade of departed Power | J |
Skeleton of unfleshed humanity | Q |
The chronicle were welcome that should call | W |
Into the compass of distinct regard | Q |
The toils and struggles of thy infant years | X |
Yon foaming flood seems motionless as ice | Y |
Its dizzy turbulence eludes the eye | Z |
Frozen by distance so majestic Pile | A2 |
To the perception of this Age appear | B2 |
Thy fierce beginnings softened and subdued | Q |
And quieted in character the strife | C2 |
The pride the fury uncontrollable | D2 |
Lost on the aerial heights of the Crusades | E2 |
