POEM. 23 And seem to hail, with ecstasy of pride, The grand procession of the rushing tide. Now, on the bosom of the swollen stream Far inland borne, we break the lovely dream Of Nature, in some sweet sequestered scene, Where silver poplars dip their glossy green, And, leaning, dreaming, stir with deep-drawn sigh, As man's far-echoing engine thunders by. Through narrow lanes of liquid green we go. Green woods around and mimic woods below, Till, soon, we " burst " into a " silent sea," Where bea...uty struggles with sublimity ; Where, set by the Almighty Planter's hand, Terrace on terrace, sweeping, soaring, stand Woods above woods, with many a " monarch " green. All bending " to behold the swelling scene." But lo ! where in her stateliness and pride, Looks out o'er all the valley, far and wide, That young Queen City, " throned by the West," What visions of the future fire the breast ! Eastward she looks, and seems, with noble eye, Her proud Atlantic sisters to defy. And glow in the great race and rivalry.
