Like the fierce fiend of a distempered dream,
And shook him from his rest, and led him forth
Into the darkness.—”

And stared aghast to watch him eat;
They poured strychnine in his cup
And shook to see him drink it up:”

Under that woven changeless roof of boughs:
The singing shook him out of his new ease.”
