Again the forest moans beneath the blast,

The eagle finds on mountain, cliff and grot,

Once more his eyrie undisturbed; the vast

And melancholy wilderness o’er all is cast.

And lo! upon the spot where I had stood,

A second form—how like to mine! has ta’en

His lonely place, and hears the solitude

Return thy stunning anthem back again,

Like distant roarings of some mighty main;

The earth around lies in her primal dress:
