So he flew to the mountain and powdered its crest;

He lit on the trees, and their boughs he dressed

With diamonds and pearls; and over the breast

Of the quivering lake he spread

A coat of mail, that it need not fear

The glittering point of many a spear

Which he hung on its margin, far and near,

Where a rock could rear its head.

He went to the window of those who slept,

And over each pane like a fairy crept:
