Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!
Open unto the fields, and to the sky;
Never did sun more beautifully steep
All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.
A sight so touching in its majesty:
In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill;
The river glideth at his own sweet will:
Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie
The beauty of the morning; silent, bare,
Earth has not anything to show more fair:
Dear God! the very houses seem asleep;
And all that mighty heart is lying still!
This City now doth, like a garment, wear
Dull would he be of soul who could pass by
