| | | SARAH and William Adams! here we stood, | |
| Roofed by the cloud, which cast his frown between | |
| Wardsend and Loxley’s moorlands. From the wood | |
| Of one-starred Grenno, like a sea unseen, | |
| The wind swept o’er us, seeming, in his might, | 5 |
| To shake the steadfast rocks; while, rushing keen | |
| Beyond the edge of darkness, stormy light, | |
| As from a league-wide trumpet, on the scene | |
| A cataract of glory poured; and, bright | |
| In gloom, the hill-tops islanded the night | 10 |
| Of billowy shade around us. Vale and hill, | |
| Forest and cloud, were restless as a fight; | |
| They seemed as they would nevermore be still; | |
| While, anchored over all, the high-poised kite | |
| Saw the foamed rivers dash their blue with white. | 15 | | | |
