Save when with dog, obedient at command,

And gun, the sportsman quits his city home,

And brushing through the ling in quest of game doth roam.

And lo! in wild confusion scattered round,

Huge, shapeless, naked, massy piles of stone

Rise, proudly towering o'er this barren ground,

Scowling in mutual hate—apart, alone,

Stern, desolate they stand—and seeming thrown

By some dire, dread convulsion of the earth

From her deep, silent caves, and hoary grown
