DON JUAN. Lox CANTO III. How beautiful is earth, with stream and fountain, With gurgling rivulet, and light cascade ;— How grand is earth, with snow-enveloped mountain, And torrent roaring through the ruined glade ;— How strange is earth, with flowers bevond all counting, And serpents coiled beneath their treacherous shade ;— How wonderful is earth, with all that teems In its broad plains, its oceans, and its streams ! If. All is in motion—life is everywhere— And everything is life ! There’s nothing dead— For e’en the dead and putrid matters bear The principles of new existence spread Throughout their rottenness :—the very air, On which the streams of golden light are shed, Teems with a myriad million living things, Which float around us on invisible wing's.
