Or his fierce glance cast where the lightning’s blast,

Hath shivered the rocks in twain.

If you would behold the vision unrolled

Of the Storm-king on his way;

Then his to yon steep that o’erlooks the deep,

Where the weed-strewn sea-caves lay.

When winds have the tone of a dull low moan,

Foretelling a coming blast;

’Tis a sign that he, from his sleep is free,

And gathers his armies fast.
