And the blast through the pines is howling and growling,

As if a thousand wolves were prowling

About in the old BLACK FOREST!

Madly, sadly, the Tempest raves

Through the narrow gullies and hollow caves,

And bursts on the rocks in windy waves,

Like the billows that roar

On a gusty shore

Mourning over the mariners' graves—

Nay, more like a frantic lamentation
