Say on what hoary mountain's side,
'Midst falls of water you reside.

Exercise 61 b.

Promiscuous Exercises on all the preceding Rules.
1. To sit on rocks, to muse o'er flood and fell,
To slowly trace the forest shady scene,
Where things who own not mans dominion dwell,
And mortal foot have ne'er or rarely been;
To climb the trackless mountain all unseen,
With the wild flock that never need a fold;
Alone o'er steeps and foaming falls to lean;--

These are not solitude; 'tis but to hold

Converse with Natures charms, and view its stores unroll'd.

But midst the crowd, the hum, the shock of men,

To hear, to see, to feel, and to possess,

And roam along the worlds tired denizen,

With none which bless us, none which we can bless;

Minions of splendour shrinking from distress;

None that, with kindred consciousness endued,
If we were not, would seem to smile the less
Of all who flatter'd, follow'd, sought, and sued:
This is to be alone; this, this is solitude!
