And all his counsel to the air,

And laughed to see the old man's eye,

Fix'd in imploring agony.

Where the wild stream's eternal strife,

Wake the dark echoes into life,

Where rudely o'er the rock it gushes,

Lost in its everlasting foam;

And swift the channeled water rushes,

With ceaseless roar and endless storm;

And rugged crags, dark, grey, and high,
