Down tbe green bill, athw&rt a cedarn cover I
A aavage place! as holy and enchanted
a& e'er beneath a waning moon wee httunted
:By womanl wailing for her spirit-laver;
And from ttu. ebal!m, with cea.seleu tunnoileeethmg,
As if thla earth in fut thick pa.b.ta were breathing,
A mighty foun\ain momently was forced;
Amid whose awift h a.lf intermitted bunt
Huge fl'll~ments, vaulted like rebounding h11.1l,
Or chaffy grain beneath the threaber'a ftail:
And 'mid these dancing rocks at once and l!Vllt,

Through wood and dille the saCI'8d river r&n,

A sunny pleasure-dome with ce.vea of ioe I
A damsel with a dulcimer,

It wu an Abyaaini:an maid,
And on her dulcimer abe play'd,
Singing of Mount Abora..
Could I revin within me
Her sympho~zy o.nd eo~
To eucb a deep delight twould win ue,
That, with music loud IUI.d l011g,
I would build that dome in air,
Th.a.t eunny dome I t.hOilG cave~ of kle I
And all who heard, should aee them there,
And all should cry, Beware I Bewar. I
His fu\abing eyes, his tloating hair I
Weave a circle round him thrioe,
And close you r eyes with holy dread,
For be on honey-dew hath fed,
And drunk the milk or Faudl.e. Oor..nmGK.
