CI.

All things are here of Him; from the black pines,[340]

Which are his shade on high, and the loud roar

Of torrents, where he listeneth, to the vines

Which slope his green path downward to the shore,

Where the bowed Waters meet him, and adore,

Kissing his feet with murmurs; and the Wood,

The covert of old trees, with trunks all hoar,

But light leaves, young as joy, stands where it stood,[kp]

Offering to him, and his, a populous solitude.
