    Amid the dusk hill's sombrous shade There lies a wild and roeky glen, Where nature hath a temple made Unsought—untrod of men ; Huge stony masses loosely piled about, By mighty trees begirt^ shut daylight out,. All day the icy waters drip, Slowly from rock to rock they fall, The dappled deer here cools her lip, Nor fears the hunter^s call; Broad waving ferns and moss of richest green, Lend softened grace unto the solemn scene. There hangs o'er all a cold grey light. No gleam of sunshine gilds the air, And ever through the silent night Black darkness broodeth there ; Here in her secret haunts, unknown, untrod,— Sings Nature ever anthems to her God.
