XXIV. THELEMARKEN: A PER-CONTRA.
However, there's the freedom of the Fells,Such as the wilds of Thelemarken show,
Where cataracts roar unbridged, and torrents flow
Burdened but with the beauty of their bells;
Where the cliff soars, and the broad sky-roof swells,
And morning comes with larger longer glow,
And, pinnacled beyond the axe's blow,
In peace the stately pine its centuries tells!
Here you may live at large, with no one nigh:
—Only, when twilight darkens earth and air,
From the lone uplands you may chance to spy
On the cliff-edge a wolf, perhaps a pair;
Or silhouetted on the evening sky
The slouching horror of a hermit bear!
