| storm in which the moon was perfectly clear while | B |
| the tempest gathered in various directions near the | C |
| earth | D |
| WHAT awful pageants crowd the evening sky | E |
| The low horizon gathering vapours shroud | F |
| Sudden from many a deep embattled cloud | F |
| Terrific thunders burst and lightnings fly | E |
| While in serenest azure beaming high | E |
| Night's regent of her calm pavilion proud | F |
| Gilds the dark shadows that beneath her lie | E |
| Unvex'd by all their conflicts fierce and loud | F |
| So in unsullied dignity elate | G |
| A spirit conscious of superior worth | D |
| In placid elevation firmly great | G |
| Scorns the vain cares that give Contention birth | D |
| And blest with peace above the shocks of Fate | G |
| Smiles at the tumult of the troubled earth | D |
