In his eye-sockets: the nettle keeps

Vigil about him while he sleeps.

Over his body the wind moans

With a dreary tune throughout the day,

In a chorus wistful, eerie, thin

As the gulls' cry, as the cry in the bay,

The mournful word the seas say

When tides are wandering out or in.

SORROW OF MYDATH

Weary the cry of the wind is, weary the sea,
