    Splendid mirror in which to view
    Reflected nature inverted, seen
    Fleecy cloud and ethereal blue
    XIV
    River and lake and dell and grave
    Delight entrance and overpower
    Impress with awe or charmed by love
    of mountain grand and mossy bower
    XV
    Oh! what a lesson here to learn
    From the river rolling to the sea
    That man alike is onward(rd) borne
    To boundless vast eternity.
