’Twas mist and rain, and storm and rain, + 

No screen, no fence could I discover, + 

And then the wind! in faith, it was + 

A wind full ten times over. + 

I looked around, I thought I saw + 

A jutting crag, and off I ran, + 

Head-foremost, through the driving rain, + 

The shelter of the crag to gain, + 

And, as I am a man, + 

Instead of jutting crag, I found + 

A Woman seated on the ground. + 
