O ROCK and torrent, lake and hill,
Halls of a home austerely still.
Remote and solemn view!
O vaUey, where the wanderer sees
Beyond that towering arch of trees
Helvellyn and the blue!
Great Nature! on our love was shed
From thine abiding goodlihead
Majestic fostering;
We wondered, half-afraid to own
In hardly-conscious hearts upgrown
So infinite a thing.
Within, without, whate'er hath been.
In cosmic deeps the immortal scene
Is mirrored, and shall last: ''"
Live the long looks, the woodland ways,
That twilight of enchanted days, ''"
The imperishable Past.
