Subject(s): Echo (mythology)
I saw her in the fleeting wind,
I heard her on the sounding shore;
The fairy nymph of shadowy kind,
That oft derides the winter's roar:
I heard her lash from rock to rock,
With shrill repeating solemn shock;
I met her in the twilight's shade
As flitting o'er my pensive glade;
O'er yonder tepid lake she flew,
Her mantle gemmed with silver dew;
The bursting note swept through the sky
As the young valleys passed the sigh:
In accents varied as the passions change,
The nymph, wild Echo, sweeps the hallow range.
