• I stood within the city disinterred;
  And heard the autumnal leaves like light footfalls
  Of spirits passng through the streets;
  and heard the Mountain's slumberous voice at intervals
  Thrill through those roofless halls;
  The oracular thunder penetrating shook
  The listening soul in my suspended blood.
