In the Valley
The Sierra-rock, a tavern for the clouds, refuses to let Fame and Gold sojourn.—
Down the Heaven by the river-road, an angel's ethereal shadow strays.—
The Genii in the Valley-cavern consult in silence the message of the Heavens.
O Lord, show unto mortals thy journal—the balance of Glory and Decay!
