There, sometimes does a leaping FishSend through the Tarn a lonely chear;The Crags repeat the Raven's croak,In symphony austere;Thither the Rainbow comes, the Cloud;And Mists that spread the flying shroud;And Sun-beams; and the sounding blast,That, if it could, would hurry past,But that enormous Barrier binds it fast.
Not knowing what to think, a whileThe Shepherd stood: then makes his wayTowards the Dog, o'er rocks and stones,As quickly as he may;Nor far had gone before he foundA human skeleton on the ground,Sad sight! the Shepherd with a sighLooks round, to learn the history.
