As Him, from whom their life and being flow— Monarch of mountains! at thy feet I lay The tribute of my wonder, and there pay The homage of a soul, to whom the bow Of glory, that encircles thee, when night Comes on in iris-splendour, and thy height Glows with unnumbered hues and seems on fire, And o'er thy pure snows rolls a wave of light— To whom these glories are a high delight, An inspiration and a deep desire, And would be Heaven, could I but hear an angel's lyre.
