Glinton thy taper spire predominates
over the landscape and the mind
musing the pleasing picture contemplates
like elegance of beauty much refined
by taste that almost defies and elevates
once admiration making common things
around it glow with beauty not their own
Thus all around the earth superior things
those struggling trees though lonely seem not lone
but in thy presence wear superior power
and e’en each mossed and melancholy stone
gleaning cold memories round oblivions bower
seems types of fair eternity & hire
a lease from fame by thy enchanting spire
