Blighted by wrath of sun and storm,

In tatter’d weeds[260] and wild array,

Stood on a cliff beside the way,

And glancing round her restless eye,

Upon the wood, the rock, the sky,

Seem’d naught to mark, yet all to spy.

Her brow was wreath’d with gaudy broom;

With gesture wild she waved a plume

Of feathers, which the eagles fling

To crag and cliff from dusky wing;
