                                       Canto I。 



                                                I。 



     ;Stay�察  �traveller�察  �stay   thy   weary   steed�察    �The   sultry   hour   of   noon   is 

near�察�Of rest thy way´worn limbs   have need�察                 �Stay�察�then�察�and�察�taste   its 

sweetness   here。   The   mountain   path   which   thou   hast   sped   Is   steep�察  �and 

difficult to tread�察�And   many  a   farther   step   'twill   cost�察 �Ere   thou   wilt   find 

another   host�察  �But   if   thou   scorn'st   not   humble   fare�察  �Such   as   the   pilgrim 

loves    to  share�察   �Not   luxury's   enfeebling     spoil�察  �But   bread    secured    by 

patient   toil   Then   lend   thine   ear   to   my   request�察  �And   be   the   old   man's 

welcome   guest。   Thou   seest   yon   aged   willow   tree�察         �In   all   its   summer 

pomp   arrayed�察  �'Tis   near�察  �wend   thither�察  �then�察  �with   me�察  �My   cot   is   built 

beneath its shade�察�And from its roots clear waters burst To cool thy lip�察�and 

quench thy thirst�此�I love it�察�and if harm should�察�come                 To it�察�I think that 

I should   weep�察  �'Tis as a   guardian of my  home�察  �So faithfully  it   seems   to 

keep Its watch above the spot where I Have lived so long�察�and mean to die。 

Come�察�pardon me for prating thus�察�But age�察�you know�察�is garrulous�察�And in 

life's   dim   decline�察  �we   hold   Thrice   dear   whate'er   we   loved   of   old�察  �The 

stream upon whose banks we played�察�The forest through whose shades we 

strayed�察�The spot to which from sober truth We stole to dream the dreams 

of youth�察�The single star of all Night's zone�察�Which we have chosen as our 

own�察�Each has its haunting memory Of things which never more may be。; 



                                               II。 



     Thus spake an aged man to one Who manhood's race had just begun。 

His form of manhood's noblest length Was strung with manhood's stoutest 

strength�察�And burned within his eagle eye The blaze of tameless energy 



                                                 2

Not   tameless   but   untamedfor   life   Soon   breaks   the   spirit   with   its   strife 

And they who in their souls have nursed The brightest visions�察�are the first 

To learn how Disappointment's blight Strips life of its illusive light�察�How 

dreams the heart has dearest held Are ever first to be dispelled�察�How hope�察�

and    power�察   �and   love�察  �and   fame�察   �Are   each    an  idly   sounding     name�察   �A 

phantom�察�a deceit�察�a wile�察�That woos and dazzles to beguile。 But time had 

not yet tutored him�察�The youth of hardy heart and limb�察�Who quickly drew 

his courser's bit�察�For though too haughty to submit�察�In strife for mastery 

with     men�察     �Yet     to  a  prayer�察   �or  a   caress�察     �His    soul   became      all 

gentleness�察�An infant's hand might lead him then�此�So answered he�察�In 

sooth   the   way   My   steed   and   I   have   passed   to´day�察  �Is   of   such   weary�察�

winding length�察�As sorely to have tried our strength�察�And I will bless the 

bread and salt Of him who kindly bids me halt。; Then springing lightly to 

the ground�察�His girth and saddle he unbound�察�And turning from the path 

aside�察�The steed and guest�察�the host and guide�察�Sought where the old man's 

friendly door Stood ever open to the poor�此�The poorfor seldom came the 

great�察�Or rich�察�the apers of their state�察�That simple�察�rude abode to see�察�Or 

claim its hospitality。 



                                              III。 



     From     where     the   hermit's    cottage    stood�察     �Beneath      its  huge    old 

guardian tree�察       �The gazer's wand'ring eye might see�察�Where�察�in its maze 

of   field   and   wood�察  �And   stretching   many   a   league   away�察  �A   broad   and 

smiling valley lay�此�Lay stilly calm�察�and sweetly fair�察�As if Death had not 

entered there�察�As if its flowers�察�so bright of bloom�察                �Its birds�察�so gay of 

song   and   wing�察  �Would   never   lose   their   soft   perfume�察         �Would   never�察�

never   cease     to   sing。  Fat   flocks  were   in   its   glens  at   rest�察 �Pure  waters 

wandered   o'er   its   breast�察  �The   sky   was   clear�察  �the   winds   were   still�察  �Rich 

harvests grew on every hill�察�The sun in mid´day glory smiled�察�And nature 

slumbered as a child。

                                              IV。 



     And now�察�their rustic banquet done�察�And sheltered from the noontide 

sun   By   the   old   willow's   pleasant   shade�察  �The   guest   and   host   the   scene 

surveyed�察  �Marked   how   the   mountain's   mighty   base   The   valley's   course 

was seen to trace�察�Marked how its graceful azure crest Against the sky's 

blue   arch   was   pressed�察  �And   how   its   long   and   rocky   chain   Was   parted 

suddenly   in   twain�察  �Where   through   a   chasm�察  �wide   and   deep�察  �Potomac's 

rapid waters sweep�察�While rocks that press the mountain's brow�察�Nod o'er 

his waves far�察�far below�撮�1�� Marked how those waves�察�in one broad blaze�察�

Threw   back   the   sun's   meridian   rays�察�And�察  �flashing   as   they   rolled   along�察�

Seemed       all  alive  with   light  and   song�察   �Marked     how    green   bower     and 

garden showed Where rose the husbandman's abode�察�And how the village 

walls   were   seen To   glimmer   with   a   silvery  sheen�察  �Such   as   the   Spaniard 

saw�察�of yore�察       �Hang over Tenuchtitlan's walls�察�When maddened with the 

lust of gore�察      �He came to desecrate her halls�察�To fire her temples�察�towers�察�

and thrones�察�And turn her songs of peace to groans。 They gazed�察�till from 

the   hermit's   eye A  tear   stole   slow   and   silently�察�A  tear�察  �which   Memory's 

hand   had   taken      From   a   deep   fountain   long   congealed�察�A  tear�察  �which 

showed how strongly shaken                The heart must be�察�which thus revealed�察�

Through time's dim shadows�察�gathering fast�察�Its recollections of the past�察�

Then�察�as a sigh escaped his breast�察�Thus spake the hermit to his guest。 



                                               V。 



     ;Thou seest how fair a scene is here�察              �It seems as if 'twere planned 

above�察�And   fashioned   from   some   happier   sphere�察            �To   be   the   home   of 

peace     and   love。   Yet    man�察   �too  fond    of   strife�察 �to  dwell       In   meek 

contentment's calm repose�察�Will turn an Eden to a hell�察                  �And triumph in 

his brother's woes� �And passion's lewd and lawless host�察�Delight to rave 

and   revel   most   Where   generous   Nature   stamps   and   strews   Her   fairest 

forms�察  �and   brightest   hues�此  �And   Discord   here   has   lit   her   brand�察     �And 

Hatred nursed her savage brood�察�And stern Revenge�察�with crimson hand�察�

Has written his foul deeds in blood。 But those who loved and suffered then�察�

Have given place to other men�此�Of all who live�察�to me alone The story�察�of 

their fate is known�察�Give heed�察�and I will tell it thee�察�Tho' mournful must 

the story be。 



                                              VI。 



     I   mind   as   if   'twere   yesterday�察  �The   hour   when   first   I   stood   beside 

The margin of yon rushing tide�察�And watched its wild waves in their play�察�

These locks that now are thin and gray�察�Then clustered thick and dark as 

thine�察�And   few   had   strength   of   arm   like   mine。   Thou   seest   how   many   a 

furrow now Time's hand hath ploughed athwart my brow�此�Well�察�then it was 

without   a   line�察�And   I   had   other   treasures   too�察   �Of   which   'tis   useless 

now   to   vaunt�察  �Friends�察  �who   were   kind�察  �and   warm�察  �and   true�察     �A  heart�察�

that danger could not daunt�察�A soul�察�with wild dreams wildly stirred�察�And 

hope   that   had   not   been   deferred。   I   cannot   count   how   many   years   Have 

since gone by�察�but toil and tears�察�And the lone heart's deep agony�察�I feel 

have sadly altered me�察�Yet mourn I not the change�察�for those I loved or 

scorned�察  �my   friends   or   foes�察  �Have   fallen   and   faded�察  �one   by   one�察    �As 

time's swift current hurried by�察�Till I�察�of all my kith alone�察                 �Am left to 

wait�察�and wish to die。 



                                              VII。 



     How      strong   a  hand    hath   Time�    �Man    rears�察  �And    names     his  work 

immortal�察�years Go by。 Behold� �where dwelt his pride�察�Stern Desolation's 

brood   abide�察  �The   owl   within   his   bower   sits�察  �The   lone   bat   through   his 

chamber flits�察�Where bounded by the buoyant throng�察�With measured step�察�

and    choral    song�察  �The   wily   serpent    winds    along�察   �While    the  Destroyer 

stalketh by�察�And smiles�察�as if in mockery。              How strong a band hath Time� �

Love   weaves   His   wreath   of   flowers   and   myrtle   leaves�察  。�Methinks   his 

fittest   crown   would   be A  chaplet   from   the   cypress   tree�撮�   With   hope   his 

breast is swelling high�察�And brightly beams his laughing eye�察�But soon his
