His yell repeating;[368] yet it was in truth 325

A human voice—a Spirit of coming night,

How solemn when the sky is dark, and earth

Not dark, nor yet enlightened, but by snow

Made visible, amid a noise of winds

And bleatings manifold of mountain sheep, 330

Which in that iteration recognise

Their summons, and are gathering round for food,

Devoured with keenness ere to grove or bank

Or rocky bield with patience they retire.
