So did she then determine; on that night

Of lonely autumn, when no haggard, white,

Wan, watery moon dreamed on the streaming pane;

But, on the leads, beat the incessant rain,

And the lamenting wind wailed wild among

The trees and turrets, like a phantom throng.

So grew her face severe as skies that take

Suggestions of far storm whose thunders shake

The distant hills with wrath, and cleave with fire

A pine the moaning forest mourns as sire—
