I there before thee, in the country that well thou knowest, Already arrived am inhaling the odorous air:I watch thee enter unerringly where thou goest, And anchor queen of the strange shipping there, Thy sails for awnings spread, thy masts bare:Nor is aught from the foaming reef to the snow-capp'd grandest Peak, that is over the feathery palms, more fairThan thou, so upright, so stately and still thou standest.(A Passer-by)
