SOUNDS the deep boom of ocean and the roar
Of wind surging through tree-tops. Past the moon
Wings the wild screaming heron, and the loon
Bewails its nest, storm-strewn along the shore.
Alone, slow-striding, bending towards the gale,
Unmindful of the lashing sand and rain,
The Master listens to the savage strain
And marks the meter of the Storm King's tale.
