Shrivel in his hot grasp his burning breathĭries the sweet water-springs that in the shade The fainting year sees her fresh flowery wreath Withering and scorching, o’er the mossy sod. The stormy light of his fierce lurid eyes?Īutumn is come his brazen feet have trod, I hear it in the murmuring of the floods,Īutumn is come seest thou not in the skies, The scene’s lone Genius by her elfin-thread. Sailed o’er the chasm, in thought a highway led Sat musing and where scarce a wandering crow Of sea-bound steamer, on yon summit’s head The frowning barriers that its force defied!īut Art, high o’er the trailing smoke below Shrank, and beneath the woods through the green land Severed these riven rocks, and bade them stand
