Adown the cliff[363] with dizzy head

And burning brain, and those, alas!

From mortal view for aye did pass;

But some there were who still delayed,

Not resolute and half afraid

To follow; lingering there they stood

Till lo! the dawn[364] crept through the wood;

And on its gentle face, behold![365]

A strange-shaped cloud, fringed round[366] with gold,

Came darkly flitting through the sky,
