Mocked themselves in the dizzy water.

Clouds on clouds, in volumes driven,
Curtain round the vault of heaven.

Clouds on clouds, in volumes driven,
Curtain round the vault of heaven.

Rocks, torrents, gulfs, and shapes of giant size
And glitt'ring cliff on cliffs, and fiery ramparts rise.

If woolly fleeces spread the heavenly way
No rain, be sure, disturbs the summer's day.
