Childe Harold's Pilgrimage 2-48
CANTO THE SECOND.
 
XLVIII.

 

Monastic Zitza! from thy shady brow,
Thou small, but favoured spot of holy ground!
Where’er we gaze, around, above, below,
What rainbow tints, what magic charms are found!
Rock, river, forest, mountain all abound,
And bluest skies that harmonise the whole:
Beneath, the distant torrent’s rushing sound
Tells where the volumed cataract doth roll
Between those hanging rocks, that shock yet please the soul.
 
George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron (1788-1824)
