England: Vols. I–IV. 1876–79. | | | | Wales: Anglesea (Mona) | | Druid Chorus on the Landing of the Romans | | Felicia Hemans (1793–1835) |
| | | BY the dread and viewless powers, | |
| Whom the storms and seas obey, | |
| From the Dark Isle’s 1 mystic bowers, | |
| Romans! o’er the deep away! | |
| Think ye, ’t is but nature’s gloom | 5 |
| O’er our shadowy coast which broods? | |
| By the altar and the tomb, | |
| Shun these haunted solitudes! | |
| Know ye Mona’s awful spells? | |
| She the rolling orbs can stay! | 10 |
| She the mighty grave compels | |
| Back to yield its fettered prey! | |
| Fear ye not the lightning-stroke? | |
| Mark ye not the fiery sky? | |
| Hence!—around our central oak | 15 |
| Gods are gathering,—Romans, fly! | |
