Earth is rocking in space! 
And the thunders crash up with a roar upon roar, 
And the eddying lightnings flash fire in my face, 
And the whirlwinds are whirling the dust round and round-- 
And the blasts of the winds universal leap free 
And blow each other upon each, with a passion of sound, 
And æther goes mingling in storm with the sea! 
Such a curse on my head, in a manifest dread, 
From the hand of your Zeus has been hurtled along! 
O my mother's fair glory! O Æther, enringing 
All eyes with the sweet common light of thy bringing, 
Dost see how I suffer this wrong?
