The day grows darker still, and suddenly

That lone and crafty Prisoner of the Sky

Plunges his murky torch in Heaven’s Eye:

The blinded, screaming tempest trumpets out

His windy agonies: Oh, he will spout

His boiling rains upon the soggy air

And heave great rocking planets: he will tear

And snatch the screeching comets by the hair

To fling them all about him in the sea,

And blast the wretch’s fatal Odyssey!
