Within this little world concealed.

And I—the God-detested—not content

To seize the rocks, and in my headlong bent

To shatter them to dust, with ruthless tide

Her little shieling on the mountain side

Bore down, and wrecked her life’s sweet peace with mine.

And such an offering, Hell, must it be thine?

Help, Devil, to cut short the hour of ill!

What happen must, may happen when it will!

May her sad fate my crashing fall attend,
