And looks until the brain is dazed,

Bewilder'd, and the man is crazed.

Then one, a grizzled mountaineer,

A thin and sinewy old man,

With face all wrinkle-wrought, and tan,

And presence silent and austere,

Does tell a tale, with reaching face

And bated breath, of this weird place,

Of many a stalwart mountaineer

And Piute tall who perish'd here.
