Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Geraldine, And, Athenia of Damascus: And Miscellaneous Poems
Beneath a mountain's brow the cottage stood, Hard by a shelving lake, whose pebbled bed Was skirted by the drapery of a wood, That hung its festoon foliage over head, Where wild deer came at eve, unharmed, to drink, While moonlight threw their shadows from the brink.
The green earth heaved her giant waves around, Where through the mountain vista, one vast height Towered heavenward without peer, his forehead bound With gorgeous clouds, at times of changeful light, While far below, the lake in bridal rest.
