                Rough wind, that moanest loud
                  Grief too sad for song;
                Wild wind, when sullen cloud
                  Knells all the night long;
                Sad storm, whose tears are vain,
                Bare woods, whose branches strain,
                Deep caves and dreary main, -
                  Wail, for the world's wrong!
