| the wolf-retreats, the windy nesses, |
| the dangerous fen-path, where |
| the mountain-stream, under the nesses' |
| mists, flows downward, a flood |
| beneath the earth. It is not far |
| hence, a mile's measure, that |
| the lake stands, over which |
| hang frost-covered groves; |
| woods fast by roots, the water |
| over-hang: there may |
| every night a fearful wonder |
| be seen, fire in the flood. |
