'The tempest-god's pinions o'ershadow the sky, The waves leap to welcome the storm that is nigh, Through the hall of old Odin re-echo the shocks That the fierce ocean hurls at his rampart of rocks, As, alone on the crags that soar up from the sands, With his virgin SIONA the young AGNAR stands; Tears sprinkle their dew on the sad maiden's cheeks, And the voice of the chieftain sinks low while he speaks: "Crippled in the fight for ever, Number'd with the worse than slain; Weak, deform'd, disabled! never Can I join the hosts again!

Christie fondly returned her caress. She seemed strangely revived. "Effie," she said, "do you remember something that our mother used to sing to us ? "`No dimming clouds o'ershadow thee, No dull and darksome night, But every soul shines as the sun, And God Himself is light."

My life is a river which glasses a ray That hath deigned to descend from above; Whatever the banks that o'ershadow its way, It mirrors the light of thy love. Though the waves may run high when the night wind awakes, And hurries the stream to its fall; Though broken and wild be the billows it makes, Thine image still trembles on all!"

High up to the lair of the mountain lion it rises; where the mighty crags, throne-like, o'ershadow the lesser woods; where the royal beast, lording it over an inferior world, stealthily prowls and lashes its angry tail at the impudence of such a disturbance in its vast domain.
