11 glads me on our frozen way, 
amid the alpine gloom, 
Amid the glaciers and the snow 
to see its crimson bloom. 
We left the sunny vales below, 
the happy flocks and kine. 
The peasant in his blessed home, 
the laurel and the vine : 
We traversed then the mountain-pass, 
and up the rocky way, 
More wearily, more painfully, 
as nearer closed the day. 
Vve saw the moon look on the Alps 
that seemed to hem us round, 
In the cold light the glacier shone, 
above the avalanche frowned ; 
We saw the sun rise, and the east, 
barred with its crimson streaks. 
Ruddied the glaciers, and Mont Blanc 
glowed with its splintered peaks : 
3 Twas not like earth,—a fairy world 
such splendours might unfold, 
Glimmered and shone, like diamond walls, 
the glaciered mountains cold. 
O 
The sun rose higher—the splendours died— 
dim clouds the mountains crowned,
