ST. MICHAEL'S MOUNT, the tidal isle,
In May with daffodils and lilies
Is kirtled gorgeously a while
As ne'er another English hill is :
About the precipices cling
The rich renascence robes of Spring.
Her gold and silver, nature's gifts,
The prodigal with both hands showers :
O not in patches, not in drifts
But round and round, a mount of flowers-
Of lilies and of daffodils.
The envy of all other hills.
And on the lofty summit looms
The castle : none could build or plan it.
The foursquare foliage springs and blooms.
The piled elaborate flower of granite.
That not the sun can wither ; no.
Nor any tempest overthrow.
Poetry Atlas has many other poems about Cornwall.
