Here, undiscovered might the dark tower hide,
Whereof two poets told th' imagined quest;
Frowning, great gable-ended mountains bide,
Their stony foreheads redd'ning to the west.
The pastures blanch as at some twilight tale,
Told by the shivering she-oaks crooning sprite --
And cold as moonlight on a dead man's mail,
The links of pallid water wait the night.
