LINES WRITTEN IN PASSING THROUGH VALE CRUSIS, in Oct. 1806.
O Vale of the Cross, the shepherds tell
'Tis sweet within thy woods to dwell!
For there are sainted shadows seen
That frequent haunt thy dewy green;
In wandering winds the dirge is sung,
The convent bell by spirits rung,
And matin hymns and vesper prayer
Break softly on the tranquil air!
O Vale of the Cross, the shepherds toll
'Tis sweet within thy woods to dwell!
For peace has there her spotless throne,
And pleasures to the world unknown;
The murmur of the distant rills,
The sabbath silence of the hills,
And all the quiet God hath given
Without the golden gates of heaven!
