Dull would he* be of soul who could pass by  

A sight so touching* in its majesty*: 

This City now doth,* like a garment, wear

Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie

Open unto the fields, and to the sky;

All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.

The river glideth* at his own sweet will: 

Ne’er saw I, never felt a calm so deep!

Dear God! The very houses seem asleep;
