It stood, and sun and moonshine rain'd their light
                  On the pure columns of its glen-built hall.
                  Backward and forward roll'd the waves of fight
                  Round Troy--but while this stood, Troy could not fall.

                  So, in its lovely moonlight, lives the soul.
                  Mountains surround it, and sweet virgin air;
                  Cold plashing, past it, crystal waters roll;
                  We visit it by moments, ah, too rare!
