III

But thou art right. Thou prophesiest true.

For hardly hast thou ceased thy forecasting,

When, up the western fierceness of scorched blue,

Great water-carrier winds their buckets bring

Brimming with freshness. How their dippers ring

And flash and rumble! lavishing large dew

On corn and forest land, that, streaming wet,

Their hilly backs against the downpour set,

Like giants, loom in view.
