Wind round on the terrible wall,

Where the faint, moving speck of the rider

Seems hovering close to its fall! 16

Stout Pablo of San Diego

Rode down from the hills behind;

With the bells on his gray mule tinkling,

He sang through the fog and wind.

Under his thick, misted eyebrows

Twinkled his eye like a star,

And fiercer he sang as the sea-winds
