And on went Gelert too—

And still, where’er his eyes were cast,

Fresh blood-gouts shock’d his view!

O’erturn’d his infant’s bed, he found

The blood-stain’d covert rent;

And all around, the walls and ground

With recent blood besprent.

He called his child—no voice replied;

He search’d—with terror wild;

Blood! blood! he found on every side,
