The rugged brows of those old rocks, storm-rent and hoary, Are quivering in their grim surprise at my desire. The mother earth, throbbing with pain and pleasure, Would sink her voices for the languid noon, But light airs wake a reckless madd'ning measure, And wavelets dance and sparkle to the tune. And mock the mocking malice of yon day-dimm'd gibbous moon. O day and night!
"'I have no money to procure you food, No wood, no coal, to raise a cheerful fire; The madd'ning cup may warm your frozen blood We die, for lack of that which you desire! She ceased, erect one moment there he stood, The foam upon his lip; with fiendish ire He seized a knife which glitter'd in his way, And rush'd with fury on his helpless prey.
My curdling blood, my madd'ning brain, In silent anguish I sustain And still thy heart, without partaking One pang, exults while mine is breaking Byron. She turned on her side and woke, at least she opened her eyes in a wide stare, but could see nothing. All was black, opaque darkness around her.

On that auspicious night, supremely grac'd With chosen guests, the pride of liberal taste, Not in contentious heat, nor madd'ning strife, Not with the busy ills, nor cares of life, We'll waste the fleeting hours far happier themes Shall claim each thought and chase ambition's dreams. Each beauty that sublimity can boast He best shall tell, who still unites them most.
Around her throne, amid the mingling glooms, Wild hideous forms are slowly seen to glide, She bids them fly to shade earth's brightest blooms, And spread the blast of Desolation wide. See! in the darkened air their fiery course! The sweeping ruin settles o'er the land, Terror leads on their steps with madd'ning force, And Death and Vengeance close the ghastly band!
But such I know not now! Unseen, alone, I heave the heavy sigh, I draw the groan; And, madd'ning, turn to days of liveliest joy, When o'er my native hills I cast mine eyes, And said, exulting "Freemen here shall sow The seed that soon in tossing gold shall glow!
