| - | |
| The winds have shower'd their rains upon the sod | B |
| And flowers and trees have murmur'd as with lips | C |
| The very silence has appeal'd to God | B |
| In man's behalf though smitten by His rod | B |
| 'Twould seem as if the blight of some eclipse | C |
| Had dull'd the skies as if on mountain tips | C |
| The winds of Heaven had spurn'd the life terrene | D |
| And clouds were foundering like benighted ships | C |
| But what is this exultant unforseen | D |
| Which cleaves the dark A fearful burning thing | E |
| Is it the moon Or Saturn's scarlet ring | E |
| Hurl'd into space It is the tempest sun | D |
| It is the advent of the Phoeban king | E |
| Which tells the valleys that the storm is done | D |
