THE scream of the tern in the roar of the watersWill sound when the tumult of nature is o'er;When the garden of earth is a home for the daughtersOf Eve, and when Pan is remembered no more.
White-winged, he appears! Dark, erratic, uneven,A figure on earth of the stars in the sky;Of high disarray and disorder in heaven,Where the Galaxy strikes with dismay on the eye!
descriptionPage 24
Where freak and caprice build a wild conflagration,Where Chaos is king over torrents of stars;Who scatters the earth in a blind indignation,And systems are sped in interminate wars.
Then the children of Pan in that day will come singing,In fierceness, of him who has set in the spheresDismay; and along the salt sea-limits ringing,The scream of the tern striking wild on their ears.
