A WEARY traveller now | |
| I journey o’er the desert mountain track | |
| Of Leon: wilds all drear and comfortless, | |
| Where the gray lizards in the noontide sun, | |
| Sport on their rocks, and where the goatherd starts, | 5 |
| Roused from his midnight sleep, and shakes to hear | |
| The wolf’s loud yell, and falters as he calls | |
| On saints to save. | | | | |
