XXIV. DESPAIR.
The wave-roar of the thunder,Beating the shore of heaven;
The piled rocks asunder
By earthquakes widely riven;
Wild beasts in midnight motion;
Whirlwinds, and torrents showering;
The tempest-voice of ocean;
Volcanoes, lava-pouring:
Great armies, mad-ambitious,
In smoke and blood contending;
Huge multitudes seditious
The air with tumult rending:
These things peace and silence are
To a mighty heart's despair!
