There is an Eminence⁠—of these our hills + 

The last that parleys with the setting sun. + 

We can behold it from our Orchard-seat; + 

And, when at evening we pursue our walk + 

Along the public way, this Cliff, so high + 

Above us, and so distant in its height, + 

Is visible, and often seems to send + 

Its own deep quiet to restore our hearts. + 

The meteors make of it a favorite haunt: + 

The star of Jove, so beautiful and large + 

In the mid heavens, is never half so fair + 

As when he shines above it. ’Tis in truth + 

The loneliest place we have among the clouds. + 

And She who dwells with me, whom I have loved + 

With such communion, that no place on earth + 

Can ever be a solitude to me, + 

Hath said, this lonesome Peak shall bear my name. + 
