Lofty and multiform
Close the bright glimpse of summer and the hope
of everything.
Silence her throne assumes,
Stars mount the sky, and looms
The misty monarch of the dale on high :
About the silver feet
I worship, as is meet,
The warrior God that fixed the curvéd sky,
Rent the cavernous earth,
Moulded in awful birth
The terror of the cloudy canopy,
And tore from underground
The lake’s immense profound,
And clad the mountains now with this faint snow
embroidery.
Now the white flakes decrease,
Wastwater lies in peace,
Kissed by the breezes where the wind once bit ;
Gable alone doth stand,
A Pyramid more grand
