Is there a solitary wretch who hies To the tall cliff, with starting pace or slow,
And, measuring, views with wild and hollow eyes Its distance from the waves that chide below;
Who, as the sea-born gale with frequent sighs Chills his cold bed upon the mountain turf,
With hoarse, half-utter'd lamentation, lies Murmuring responses to the dashing surf?
In moody sadness, on the giddy brink, I see him more with envy than with fear;
He has no nice felicities that shrink From giant horrors; wildly wandering here,
He seems (uncursed with reason) not to
The depth or the duration of his woe.
