On the dark earth the wearied vision fails;
The latest

The lone black fir, forsakes the faded plain;
Last evening sight, the cottage smoke, no more,
Lost in the thickened darkness, glimmers hoar;
And, towering from the sullen dark-brown mere,
Like a black wall, the mountain-steeps appear.

Whose slender feet wide-swerv'd upon the soft

From fifty censers their light voyage took

Without wrauth or reviling; wee expected

The street lamp sputtered,
