Thomas Campbell - BenlomondThomas Campbell - Benlomond
Work rating: Low


Hadst thou a genius on thy peak,  What tales, white-headed Ben, Could`st thou of ancient ages speak,  That mock th` historian`s pen! Thy long duration makes our livea  Seem but so many hours; And likens, to the bees` frail hives,  Our most stupendous towers. Temples and towers thou seest begun,  New creeds, new conquerers sway; And, like their shadows in the sun,  Hast seen them swept away. Thy steadfast summit, heaven-allied  (Unlike life`s little span), Looks down a mentor on the pride  Of perishable man.
