dancer's foot,
Or young Dian's, on the hill-side for Endymion waiting mute.

O how golden was that even!--O how balm the summer air!
How the bridegroom sky bent loving o'er its earth so virgin fair!
How the earth looked up to heaven like a bride with joy oppressed,
In her thankfulness half-weeping that she was thus overblest!

Ghostly mountains! 'Silence--silence!' now is aye your soundless
voice,
Lifted in an awful patience o'er the world's uproarious noise;
O'er its jarrings and its greetings--o'er its loving and its
hate--
Silence! Bare thy brows all dumbly to the snows of heaven,
and--wait!'
