1
In youth's spring, it was my lot
2
To haunt of the wide earth a spot
3
To which I could not love the less;
4
So lovely was the loneliness
5
Of a wild lake, with black rock bound.
6
And the tall trees that tower'd around.
7
But when the night had thrown her pall
8
Upon that spot-- as upon all,
9
And the wind would pass me by
10
In its stilly melody,
11
My infant spirit would awake
12
To the terror of the lone lake.
13
Yet that terror was not fright--
14
But a tremulous delight,
15
And a feeling undefined,
16
Springing from a darkened mind.
17
Death was in that poisoned wave
18
And in its gulf a fitting grave
19
For him who thence could solace bring
20
To his dark imagining;
21
Whose wildering though could even make
22
An Eden of that dim lake.
