The Fall ofjtLe Giant
In the valley by the mountain
Stands the riant forest tr
O'er each rival tree top towering.
Peering out upon the sea.
Sound, round and rugged,
In the air ao tall.
Straight, great and lordly.
neigning over ail.
Ever upward bravely reaching
Through the tempest and the swell.
But htsTielght shall feel the furies.
And the winds ahall sound his knell
Long, strong and often
Blows the fateful blaat.
Old, bold and sullen .
ueain win come at last.
Harken now the wind 1. bugling.
Come ye warriora of storm.
Flash thou, lightning, fire the volley,
See the giant lash hia arms.
Bend, rend and quiver.
Bow to thunders Deal.
Shock, rock and swivel.
See that prqud head reel.
Lo, the giant torn and tattered
Dancing to tha winda mad call.
Meekly bowing, backward bending
While hia dismal dlrgea fall.
Squeak, creak and crackling
Far the echoea .o:
Crash, alaah and rumble.
Smote the earth a blow.
