Far through the dizzy dark. Aloud she shriek'd—

My heart was cloven with pain. I wound my arms

About her: we whirl'd giddily: the wind

Sung: but I clasp'd her without fear: her weight

Shrank in my grasp, and over my dim eyes

And parted lips which drank her breath, down hung

The jaws of Death: I, screaming, from me flung

The empty phantom: all the sway and whirl

Of the storm dropt to windless calm, and I

Down welter'd thro' the dark ever and ever.
