Calm in its beauty lay the western sea; 

 And every rippling wave which leapt around 

 Those craggy iales took up the ehoral sound 



Which tells, great pictured Continent, of thee. 



O blest ATLANTIS, can the legend be 

 Built on l wftcf fancied wfafch^ thy name surround 1 

 Ot doihu the, story of thy classic , abound 



With the. stefliv a>itsi of ^ature's'-face/ agree ? 

 What if no tongue may tell ! thy halo fair 

 Still lingers round the isles which slumber there ; 

 And as those towering peaks, sun-gilded, rise 

 Into the bosom of primeval skies, 

 Bathed in God's glance, and ocean-girt, they stand, 

 Like trophies left by time to mark that shadowy land. 



Lyra Devoniensis, p. 135.
