Thomas Cole's poetry | ||
98
[44. I saw a cave of sable depth profound]
I saw a cave of sable depth profoundOped 'neath a precipice whose awful height
Was lost mid clouds that darkly hung around
Forever hiding from the human sight
Its vast mysterious head—About the mouth
Of the black cavern grisly mosses hung
And clambering herbage in festoons uncouth
Did wildly wave like hair—The stray winds sung
With the rude rock, the tangled growth, the Cavern these
Strains mingled deep—of Lovely Joy of dark Despair—
[October, 1838]
