Apostrophe to Nature

(“O Soleil!”)

{Bk. II. iv., Anniversary of the Coup d’État, 1852.}

O Sun! thou countenance divine!
Wild flowers of the glen,
Caves swoll’n with shadow, where sunshine
Has pierced not, far from men;
Ye sacred hills and antique rocks,
Ye oaks that worsted time,
Ye limpid lakes which snow-slide shocks
Hurl up in storms sublime;
And sky above, unruflfed blue,
Chaste rills that alway ran
From stainless source a course still true,
What think ye of this man?
