Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, ed. Poems of Places: An Anthology in 31 Volumes.
Scotland: Vols. VI–VIII. 1876–79. | | | | Tyndrum | | Suggested at Tyndrum in a Storm | | William Wordsworth (1770–1850) |
| | | ENOUGH of garlands, of the Arcadian crook, | |
| And all that Greece and Italy have sung | |
| Of swains reposing myrtle groves among! | |
| Ours couch on naked rocks, will cross a brook | |
| Swoln with chill rains, nor ever cast a look | 5 |
| This way or that, or give it even a thought | |
| More than by smoothest pathway may be brought | |
| Into a vacant mind. Can written book | |
| Teach what they learn? Up, hardy mountaineer! | |
| And guide the bard, ambitious to be one | 10 |
| Of Nature’s privy council, as thou art, | |
| On cloud-sequestered heights, that see and hear | |
| To what dread powers He delegates his part | |
| On earth, who works in the heaven of heavens, alone. | | | | |
