The Pine Forest.
We wandered to the pine forest
That skirts the oceans roam,
The lightest wind was in It's hest'
The tempest in its home.
The whispering waves were half asleep
The clouds were gone to pay
And on the bosom of the deep
The smile of heaven lay;

Sent from beyond the skies.
Which scattered from above the sun
light of paradise.

Under the forest-bough,
Each seemed as twere little sky
Quilted in a world below;
A armament of purple llgnt
Which in the dark earth lay, ,.

The white sun twinkling like the dawn
Out of a speckled cloud.

Were imaged by the waters love
OF that fair forest green,
And all was interfused beneath
With an elysian glow,
An atmosphere without breath,
A softer day below.
Percy Bysshe Shelley.
