I	A
	-
Within the mind strong fancies work	B
A deep delight the bosom thrills	C
Oft as I pass along the fork	D
Of these fraternal hills	C
Where save the rugged road we find	E
No appanage of human kind	E
Nor hint of man if stone or rock	F
Seem not his handywork to mock	F
By something cognizably shaped	G
Mockery or model roughly hewn	H
And left as if by earthquake strewn	H
Or from the Flood escaped	G
Altars for Druid service fit	I
But where no fire was ever lit	I
Unless the glow worm to the skies	J
Thence offer nightly sacrifice	K
Wrinkled Egyptian monument	L
Green moss grown tower or hoary tent	M
Tents of a camp that never shall be razed	N
On which four thousand years have gazed	N
	-
II	A
	-
Ye plough shares sparkling on the slopes	O
Ye snow white lambs that trip	P
Imprisoned 'mid the formal props	Q
Of restless ownership	P
Ye trees that may to morrow fall	R
To feed the insatiate Prodigal	S
Lawns houses chattels groves and fields	T
All that the fertile valley shields	T
Wages of folly baits of crime	U
Of life's uneasy game the stake	V
Playthings that keep the eyes awake	V
Of drowsy dotard Time	U
O care O guilt O vales and plains	W
Here 'mid his own unvexed domains	W
A Genius dwells that can subdue	X
At once all memory of You	X
Most potent when mists veil the sky	A
Mists that distort and magnify	A
While the coarse rushes to the sweeping breeze	Y
Sigh forth their ancient melodies	Y
	-
III	A
	-
List to those shriller notes 'that' march	Z
Perchance was on the blast	A2
When through this Height's inverted arch	Z
Rome's earliest legion passed	A2
They saw adventurously impelled	B2
And older eyes than theirs beheld	B2
This block and yon whose church like frame	C2
Gives to this savage Pass its name	C2
Aspiring Road that lov'st to hide	B2
Thy daring in a vapoury bourn	D2
Not seldom may the hour return	E2
When thou shalt be my guide	B2
And I as all men may find cause	F2
When life is at a weary pause	G2
And they have panted up the hill	H2
Of duty with reluctant will	H2
Be thankful even though tired and faint	B2
For the rich bounties of constraint	B2
Whence oft invigorating transports flow	I2
That choice lacked courage to bestow	I2
	-
IV	A
	-
My Soul was grateful for delight	B2
That wore a threatening brow	J2
A veil is lifted can she slight	B2
The scene that opens now	J2
Though habitation none appear	K2
The greenness tells man must be there	L2
The shelter that the perspective	A
Is of the clime in which we live	A
Where Toil pursues his daily round	B2
Where Pity sheds sweet tears and Love	A
In woodbine bower or birchen grove	A
Inflicts his tender wound	B2
Who comes not hither ne'er shall know	I2
How beautiful the world below	I2
Nor can he guess how lightly leaps	M2
The brook adown the rocky steeps	M2
Farewell thou desolate Domain	N2
Hope pointing to the cultured plain	N2
Carols like a shepherd boy	O2
And who is she Can that be Joy	O2
Who with a sunbeam for her guide	B2
Smoothly skims the meadows wide	B2
While Faith from yonder opening cloud	B2
To hill and vale proclaims aloud	B2
Whate'er the weak may dread the wicked dare	L2
Thy lot O Man is good thy portion fair	L2
