Upon this scene, this show,
Yielded to-day by fashion, learning, wealth,
( Nor in caprice alone — some grains of deepest meaning,)
Haply, aloft, ( who knows? ) from distant sky-clouds’ blended shapes,
As some old tree, or rock or cliff, thrill'd with its soul,
Product of Nature's sun, stars, earth direct — a towering human form,
In hunting-shirt of film, arm'd with the rifle, a half-ironical smile curving its phantom lips,
Like one of Ossian's ghosts looks down.
