A voice sang overhead.

Thrice, under its warlock turrets,

Where the causeway of rock was laid;

Thrice, there at its owlet portal,

His scornful bugle brayed;

And the drawbridge clanged at his summons,

And he rode in unafraid.

The heavens were riven asunder,

One glare of blinding storm;

And the blackness, chasmed with thunder,
