Canto V.

Lines 1-21.

A
Thus do the generations of the earth
A
Go to the grave, and issue from the womb,
Surviving still the imperishable change
A
That renovates the world; even as the leaves
Which the keen frost-wind of the waning year
A A B
Has scattered on the forest soil, and heaped
For many seasons there — though long they choke,
A
Loading with loathesom rottedness the land,
A
All germs of promise, yet when the tall trees
From which they fell, shorn of their lovely shapes,
A C
Lie level with the earth to moulder there,
A A
They fertilize the land they long deformed,
A A
Till from the breathing lawn a forest springs
Of youth, integrity, and loveliness,
Like that which gave it life, to spring and die.
This suicidal selfishness, that blights
The fairest feelings of the opening heart,
A A
Is destined to decay, whilst from the soil
Shall spring all virtue, all delight, all love
And judgement cease to wage unnatural war
D D D D
With passion's unsubduable array.

CHILDE HAROLD'S PILGRIMAGE.

Canto III.

Stanza XXVII.

A
And Ardennes waves above them her green leaves,
A
Dewy with nature's tear-drops, as they pass,
Grieving, if ought inanimate e'er grieves,
Over the unreturning brave, — alas!
A
Ere evening to be trodden like the grass
Which now beneath them, but above shall grow
A
In its next verdure, when this fiery mass
Of living valour, rolling on the foe,
C
And beaming with high hope, shall moulder cold and low.

Stanza XXVIII.

Last noon beheld them full of lusty life,
Last eve in Beauty's circle proudly gay,
The midnight brought the signal-sound of strife,
The morn the marshalling in arms, — the day
D D D D
Battle's magnificently stern array!
The thunder-clouds close o'er it, which when rent
A
The earth is cover'd thick with other clay,
A
Which her own clay shall cover, heap'd and pent,
A
Rider and horse, — friend, foe, — in one red burial blent!

22 Yet not the golden islands—

219 The utmost verge of earth

222 Far, far below

224 Tremendous Ocean lay.

81 In eloquent silence,

253 High on an isolated pinnacle

216 the loftiest peak

220 of the Andes

245 Parted around the chariot's swifter course,

246 And fell, like ocean's feathery spray

247 Dashed from the boiling surge

248 Before a vessel's prow.
