Pont du Diable (Devil's Bridge) over the Bonnant Gorge in Saint Gervais les Bains, Haute Savoie (France)


I love the hour that comes, with dusky hair
And dewy feet, along the Alpine dells
To lead the cattle forth. A thousand bells 
Go chiming after her across the fair 
And flowery uplands, while the rosy flare
Of sunset on the snowy mountain dwells,
And valleys darken, and the drowsy spells 
Of peace are woven through the purple air.

Twilight in the Alps
Henry van Dyke
