The bridal of Vaumond | ||
X.
Some fierce convulsion of our earthGave that dark, broken prison birth,—
The sever'd rocks by man unwrought
Show'd on its walls their sides distraught:
Such shock alone as tore them in twain
Shall burst that prison's walls again!
The frequent crevice but derides
The hope to freedom fair that guides;
Impervious gloom, and rock and rock
Beyond, the anxious vision mock,
94
To pluck one bedded mass away.
