    She saw the pallid moonshine grow More dazzling—exquisitely bright, ^Till Earth and Heaven^ in one glow Of white and blinding light, Were flooded o^er—her wrapt eye seemed to scan Beyond the stars, that glimmered pale and wan. And voices, like the rushing Wind, And many thunders deep and strong, The whirlwind, and the storm combined. Pealed all the Spheres among In awful concert joined—with one accord, Holy, and Just, and True, how long, 0 Lord?^' They ceased — and rose before her sight, A mountain-range — some grey and hoar. With ice, and wasteless snow, were white; And some, all mantled o^er With olive forests, and the dropping bine. Breathed but of Human trust and love Divine.
