Wan, watery moon dreamed on the streaming pane,

But on the leads beat an incessant rain,

And sighed and moaned a weary wind along

The turrets and torn poplars stirred to song.

So grew her face severe as skies that take

Dark forces of full storm, sound-shod, that shake

With murmurous feet black hills, and stab with fire

A pine some moaning forest mourns as sire.

So touched her countenance that dark intent;

And to still eyes stern thoughts a passion sent,
