XIII

Published 01/07/1880
Part of Marianne's Dream

And hark! a rush as if the deep

Had burst its bonds; she looked behind

And saw over the western steep

A raging flood descend, and wind

Through that wide vale; she felt no fear,

But said within herself, 'Tis clear

These towers are Nature's own, and she

To save them has sent forth the sea.
