THERE lies within a long recess a bay, 

 An isle with gulfing sides restrains the sea, 

 The waves, divided ere they reach the shore, 

 Run through the winding bay, and cease to roar ; 

 On this side and on that vast rocks arise, 

 And two twin crags ascending threat the skies, 

 Beneath whose shade the water silent lies ; 

 Above, with waving branches, stands a wood, 

 A grove with awful shade o'erhangs the flood, 

 And on the further side a cave is shown, 

 Within, fresh springs, and seats of living stone 

 The nymphs' abode ; no chains or anchors bind 

 The worn-out ships, secure from waves and wind.

Charmed all the world with thy disciples' song,
