Her bright haird sive the bade her heeft

Forces nearest to his smiles

On Exîpe's olin-shaded stap

Or India's citron-coverd is les

More remote & buxom brown.

But howling Winter fled afar

To hills that prop the polar Star -
And loves on deer-boon car to ridle

With barren darkness by his side

Round the shore where lood Lofoden.

Whirls to cleath the roaring Whale' ;
Round the Hall where Runic Odin
Howls his leur-song to the gale_
Save when adown the savag'd glober..

He travels on his native storm

Deflowring Natur's großsy robe
And trampling on her faded form -

Till Light's returning Lord assume

The

shaft

that drives him to his northern

of power to pierce his raven plame__

And clcrystal coverd shield

O Sive of storms whose

savage

eat

The Lapland drum delights to heat_

e

When Frenzy with her bloodshot eyes.
Implores thy dreadful Deity -
Arch-Angel rower of desolation !

Fast descending as thou Art..
Say hath mortal incantation

Frells to touch thy stony heart
Then rugged Winter hear my prayer -

And gently rule the round

1year

Nor chill the wandrer's bosom bave _

Air freeze the sorelcher,

• failing that

To shivering Wvant's unmantted bod

Thy heter - breathing agues

lease to lend

head

of Innocence descend

But chiefly spare O King of clouds.

The sailor on his airy shrouds –
When Wrecks & beacon: strew the steep -

And Spectres walk along the deep..

• Hilder yet thy snowy brazes –

Pout on yonder tented shores _

Where the Rhine's broad billow

Or the dark brown Danube rears

O urinels of winter list ye there

Tom

many a cleep & clying groan

Or start

ye demons of the midnight air

At shricks & thunders louder than your

own.

Has ever your un hallow'd breath

May spare the bretim fallen low;

But man will ask no true to death _

No bounds to human woe
