"And thou shall love me, Sorrow!" I; but she

Turned her vast eyes upon me and no more;

Their melancholy language clove the core

Of my fast heart; and in mine ears the sea

Along gaunt crags yearned iron-husky grief;

Groaned the hard headlands with the wings of Storm,

Huge thunder shook the foot-hills and Alarm

Gnashed her thin fangs from hissing reef to reef.

So to the hills aweary I did turn.—

Beyond, a reach of sunlight and slim flowers;
