From those abrupt and perilous rocks,The Man had fallen, that place of fear!At length upon the Shepherd's mindIt breaks, and all is clear:He instantly recall'd the Name,And who he was, and whence he came;Remember'd, too, the very dayOn which the Traveller pass'd this way.
But hear a wonder now, for sakeOf which this mournful Tale I tell!À lasting monument of wordsThis wonder merits well.The Dog, which still was hovering nigh,Repeating the same timid cry,This Dog had been through three months' spaceA Dweller in that savage place.
