Hidden in sorrow: at first, to the ear

The warble was low, and full, and clear;...

But anon her awful jubilant voice,

With a music strange and manifold,

Flowed forth on a carol free and bold....

And the creeping mosses and clambering weeds,

And the willow-branches hoar and dank,

And the wavy swell of the soughing reeds,

And the wave-worn horns of the echoing bank,

And the silvery marish-flowers that throng
