The oak shall send his roots abroad, and pierce thy mould. Yet not to thine eternal resting-place Shalt thou retire alone,--nor couldst thou wish Couch more magnificent. Thou shalt lie down With patriarchs of the infant world--with kings, The powerful of the earth--the wise, the good, Fair forms, and hoary seers of ages past, All in one mighty sepulchre. The hills Rock-ribbed and ancient as the sun; the vales Stretching in pensive quietness between; The venerable woods; rivers that move In majesty, and the complaining brooks That make the meadows green; and, pour'd round all, Old Ocean's gray and melancholy waste,--Are but the solemn decorations all Of the great tomb of man.
