First lines
Bound ever to a great grey rock of Doom, / Striving with futile hands to rive the chain
Of woven fear, distrust and subtle pain, / While gaunt wolf-waves that leap from out the gloom
Of doubt's cold sea are snarling at my feet, / As nearer writhes the dragon of Despair
Foul with dank horrors of his caverned lair, / And like a clock of doom the dark tides beat.
