Or tinkle of silver fountains. When the gloom

Of crimson lifts, I stand upon the edge

Of a broad black plain of adamant, that reaches,

Level as a windless water, to the verge

Of all the world; and through the sable plain,

A hundred streams of shattered marble run,

And streams of broken steel, and streams of bronze,

Like to the ruin of all the wars of time,

To plunge, with clangour of timeless cataracts,

Adown the gulfs eternal.
