Further and further away!

High on the vane the wind-cock

Arches his wings for flight;—

Blue spread the rifts and bluer,

Locked is the fell and barred.—

What are those trunks and tree-roots,

That grow from the ridge’s clefts?

They are warriors heron-footed!

Now they, too, are fading away.

A shimmering like rainbow-streamers
