She hates the light and is in darkness found

Or sits with blinking lamps, or tapers small,

Which various shadows make against the wall.

She loves nought else but noise which discord makes;

As croaking frogs whose dwelling is in lakes;

The raven’s hoarse, the mandrake’s hollow groan

And shrieking owls which fly i’ the night alone;

The tolling bell, which for the dead rings out;

A mill, where rushing waters run about;

The roaring winds, which shake the cedars tall,
