Her dark inspirèd mind.

But dost thou, Folly, mock the muse

A wanderer’s mountain walk to sing,

Who shuns a warring world, nor wooes

The vulture cover of its wing?

Then fly, thou cowering, shivering thing,

Back to the fostering world beguiled

To waste in self-consuming strife

The loveless brotherhood of life,

Reviling and reviled!
