Sauróren bridge where late great Arthur wrote His rapid mandate o’er the torrent’s fall, The deep Lanz valley by the thunder smote, The hills above, the blooming village--all Are covered o’er with dense, sulphureous pall; And musketry its sharp and rattling peal Incessant echoes ’gainst the mountain-wall. While fills the glen tumultuous shot and steel, The volumed smoke can scarce the form of death reveal.
