In the forests of the night,

Could frame thy fearful symmetry?”

Whence all but he had fled;
The flame that lit the battle’s wreck,
Shone round him o’er the dead.

Yet beautiful and bright he stood,
As born to rule the storm;
A creature of heroic blood,
A proud though childlike form.”
—Felicia Dorothea Hemans (1783–1835)

“us burning plains,
Bristled with cities, us the sea received.”
