His bridling neck between his tow'ring wings;

Proud of the varying arch and moveless form of snow. 1793.

Long may ye roam these hermit waves that sleep,
In birch-besprinkl'd cliffs embosom'd deep;

Whose leafy shades fence off the blustering gale,
Where breathes in peace the lily of the vale. 1827. ]
