III

Once in tempest it was given

Me to see thee,--where the leven

Lit the craggy wood with glare,--

Dancing, while,--like wedges driven,--

Thunder split the deeps of heaven,

And the wild rain swept thy hair.--

What art thou, whose presence, even

While with fear my heart was riven,

Healed it as with prayer?
