Over the blasted and the blackened spot
Of our unhappy and unhallowed deed

To the sands upon the shore)
Shall bloom the thunder-blasted tree,
Or the stricken eagle soar!

Nothing alive gone wrong could be so plain,
Or quite so blasted with absurdity.

And rocking on the cliff was left
The dark pine blasted, bare, and cleft.
The veil of cloud was lifted, and below

Blasted with sighs, and surrounded with tears,
Hither I come to seek the spring,
