The lonely sunsets flare² forlorn

　　Down valleys dreadly desolate³；

　　The lordly mountains soar in scorn As still as death, as stern as fate.

　　The lonely sunsets flame and die；

　　The giant valleys gulp⁴ the night；

　　The monster mountains scrape the sky,

　　Where eager stars are diamond-bright.

　　So gaunt against the gibbous moon,

　　Piercing the silence velvet-piled,

　　A lone¹ wolf howls his ancient rune ——

　　The fell arch-spirit of the Wild.

　　O outcast land！ O leper land！

　　Let the lone wolf-cry all express the hate insensate of thy hand,

　　Thy heart's abysmal⁵ loneliness.
