When the cock crows loud from the glen, + 

And the moor-cock chirrs from the heather, + 

What hear ye and see ye then, + 

Ye children of air and ether? + 

1st Echo + 

A thunder as of waves at the rising of the moon, + 

And a darkness on the graves though the day is at its noon. + 

2nd Echo + 

A springing as of grass though the air is damp and chill, + 

And a glimmer from the river that winds about the hill. + 

1st Echo + 

A lapse of crags that leant from the mountain’s earthen sheath, + 

And a shock of ruin sent on the river underneath. + 

2nd Echo + 

A sound as of a building that groweth fair and good, + 

And a piping of the thrushes from the hollow of the wood. + 

1st Echo + 

A wailing as of lambs that have wandered from the flock, + 

And a bleating of their dams that was answered from the rock. + 

2nd Echo + 

A breathing as of cattle in the shadow where they dream, + 

And a sound of children playing with the pebbles in the stream. + 

1st Echo + 

A driving as of clouds in the kingdom of the air, + 

And a tumult as of crowds that mingle everywhere. + 

2nd Echo + 

A waving of the grass, and a passing o’er the lakes, + 

And a shred of tempest-cloud in the glory when it breaks. + 
