To the River Rhone by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

To the River Rhone Annotated

Thou Royal River, born of sun and shower
&nbsp In chambers purple with the Alpine glow,
&nbsp Wrapped in the spotless ermine of the snow
&nbsp And rocked by tempests!—at the appointed hour
Forth, like a steel-clad horseman from a tower,
&nbsp With clang and clink of harness dost thou go
&nbsp To meet thy vassal torrents, that below
&nbsp Rush to receive thee and obey thy power.
And now thou movest in triumphal march,
&nbsp A king among the rivers! On thy way
&nbspA hundred towns await and welcome thee;
Bridges uplift for thee the stately arch,
&nbsp Vineyards encircle thee with garlands gay,
&nbsp And fleets attend thy progress to the sea!
