Poems by William Wordsworth (Vol. II)
"Advance--come forth from thy Tyrolean ground"

by William Wordsworth

Advance--come forth from thy Tyrolean ground
Dear Liberty!--stern Nymph of soul untamed,
Sweet Nymph, Oh! rightly of the mountains named!
Through the long chain of Alps from mound to mound
And o'er the eternal snows, like Echo, bound,--
Like Echo, when the hunter train at dawn
Have rouzed her from her sleep: and forest-lawn,
Cliffs, woods and caves her viewless steps resound
And babble of her pastime!--On, dread Power!
With such invisible motion speed thy flight, 
Through hanging clouds, from craggy height to height,
Through the green vales and through the Herdsman's bower,
That all the Alps may gladden in thy might,
Here, there, and in all places at one hour.
