• Bright was the summer's noon when quickening steps Followed each other till a dreary moor Was crossed, a bare ridge clomb, upon whose top Standing alone, as from a rampart's edge, I overlooked the bed of Windermere, Like a vast river, stretching in the sun.

    William Wordsworth: Bright was the summer's noon when quickening steps 
Followed each other till a dreary moor 
Was crossed, a bare ridge clomb, upon whose top 
Standing alone, as from a rampart's edge, 
I overlooked the bed of Windermere, 
Like a vast river, stretching in the sun.
