A dull soul would simply pass by // // A sight so touching in its majesty: ........................... A sight so breathtaking in itself: // // This City now doth, like a garment, wear. ................... This city wears the view like a garment, // // The beauty of the morning; silent, bare, ................................... The morning so silent, still, // // Ships, towers, domes, theatres and temples lie ......................... Ships, towers, domes theaters and temples are // // Open unto the fields, and to the sky; ........................................ Open to the fields, and to the sky; // // All bright and glittering in the smokeless air. ............................. All bright and sparkling in the clear, clean air. //

In his first choice, valley, rock, or hill; // // Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep! ......................... Never have I saw or felt a calmness so deep! // // The river glideth at his own sweet will: ............................ The river glides at his own will: // // Dear God! The very houses seem asleep; ........................... Dear God! Even the houses seem to be sleeping; // // And all that mighty heart is lying still! ...................................
