[105. Who that hath breathed on mountain top, where winds]
Who that hath breathed on mountain top, where windsGush fresh from heaven—who that had proudly stood
O'er the embattled cliff and watched the clouds;
Heave in extended tumult far below;
Or felt the torrent's spray dash on his cheek:
Can unregretful let his days consume
In tainted cities where the air is thick
And stagnant with impurity and hath
Been breathed and breathed again—amid the din
The daily darkness and the lasting strife—
