Excerpt from Poems of Places Oceana 1 England 4, Vol. 4: Scotland 3 Celand, Switzerland, Greece, Russia, Asia England. Ulpha. The kirk of ulpha. The Kirk of Ulpha to the pilgrim's eye Is welcome as a star, that doth present Its shining forehead through the peaceful rent Of a black cloud diffused o'er half the sky; Or as a fruitful palm-tree towering high O'er the parched waste beside an Arab's tent; Or the Indian tree whose branches, downward bent, Take root again, a boundless canopy. How sweet were leisure, could it yield no more Than mid that wave-washed churchyard to recline, From pastoral graves extracting thoughts divine! Or there to pace, and mark the summits hoar Of distant moonlit mountains faintly shine, Soothed by the unseen river's gentle roar. William Wordsworth.
