The text:

When awful darkness and silence reign Over the great Gromboolian plain,   Through the long, long wintry nights;-- When the angry breakers roar As they beat on the rocky shore;--   When Storm-clouds brood on the towering heights Of the Hills of the Chankly Bore:-- Then, through the vast and gloomy dark, There moves what seems a fiery spark,   A lonely spark with silvery rays   Piercing the coal-black night,--   A Meteor strange and bright:-- Hither and thither the vision strays,   A single lurid light. Slowly it wanders,--pauses,--creeeps,-- Anon it sparkles,--flashes and leaps; And ever as onward it gleaming goes A light on the Bong-tree stems it throws.
