E 38 THE TOUR OF THE DOVE. ODE. t; Thou mountain pyramid, all hail ! In majesty thy Form unveil ! Throw back thy misty shroud, Unclasp thy helm of cloud, And down the vista of the dale Reverberate aloud. 2. Yet waken not yon river-pool In softest shadow sleeping cool j Thine image is the dream That charms the silent stream, - Till twilight's deeper shadows rule, And Cynthia's placid beam. THE TOUR OF THE DOVE. 39 3. Lift up your heads, ye giant rocks ! Like clashing cymbals rear your blocks Hig...h in the upper air ; And may the thunders spare, When the earth reels beneath their shocks, Your top-stones loose and bare. 4. Ye caves, that in the summer's bloom Afford a cool refreshing gloom, A rest to weary feet ; Still when the snow-storms beat, With stalactites of ice illume And screen the coy retreat. 5. And ye precipitous denies, That, rising like cathedral aisles, Catch the first gleams of dawn ; The sunshine on the lawn Between your walls so sweetly smiles, O be it ne'er withdrawn. 40 THE TOUR OF THE DOVE*, 6.
