By the Hoof of the Wild Goat uptossed |
From the cliff where she lay in the Sun |
Fell the Stone |
To the Tarn where the daylight is lost, |
So she fell from the light of the Sun |
And alone! |
|
Now the fall was ordained from the first |
With the Goat and the Cliff and the Tarn, |
But the Stone |
Knows only her life is accursed |
As she sinks from the light of the Sun |
And alone! |
|
Oh Thou Who hast builded the World, |
Oh Thou Who hast lighted the Sun, |
Oh Thou Who hast darkened the Tarn, |
Judge Thou |
|
By the goat from the light of the Sun, |
As she sinks in the mire of the Tarn, |
Even now - even now - even now! |
