Holding that horse, and sadly called my name;

I mounted, and we passed over the lone

And drifting grayness, while this monotone,

Surly and distant, mixed inseparably

Into the clangour of the wind and sea:

‘I hear my soul drop down into decay,

And Mananan’s dark tower, stone by stone,

Gather sea-slime and fall the seaward way,

And the moon goad the waters night and day,

That all be overthrown.
