A giant with a scowling form,

Who from his bosom seemed to fling

The blackened billows to the storm.

The wailing winds in terror gushed

From the swart sky, and seemed to lash

The foaming waves, which madly rushed

Toward the tall cliff with headlong dash.

Upward the glittering spray was sent,

Backward the growling surges whirled,

And splintered rocks by lightnings rent,
