III

There lies in a valley, where mountains

Have walled it from all that is ours,

A garden entangled with flowers;

Where the whisper of echoing fountains

Makes song in the balm-breathing bowers:

Where torrents, plunged down from wild masses

Of granite, from cavern-pierced steeps,

With thunders sonorous cleave passes,

And madden the world with their leaps,

The clamorous foam of their leaps.
