Then waked his trumpet's brazen throat,
With such a copious rending note,
That rocks and doons began to pant;
The gray and solid adamant
Travail'd in anguish with the noise,
With the first throes of thunder voice,
And issued sounds that shook the spheres,
And silence of a thousand years.
With such a copious rending note,
That rocks and doons began to pant;
The gray and solid adamant
Travail'd in anguish with the noise,
With the first throes of thunder voice,
And issued sounds that shook the spheres,
And silence of a thousand years.
