Speak of the North! A lonely moor
Silent and ______ and tractless swells,
The waves of some wild streamlet ______
Hurriedly through its ferny dells.
Profoundly still the twilight air,
Lifeless the landscape; so we deem
Till like a ______ gliding near
A stag bends down to drink the stream.
And far away a mountain zone,
A cold, white ______ of snow-drifts lies,
And one star, large and soft ______ lone,
Silently lights the unclouded skies.
