Error Correction in Coleridge's Poetry

And in his anxiety, the mighty Spirit / Wings from the clouds a sudden, whirlwind blast, / That whirls the mountains down, and tears the trees, / And drives the mighty ocean to its bed, / Shaking the earth with its tumultuous roar; / A storm that rages fiercely through the night, / Until the dawn reveals the peaceful sky, / And all creation breathes in calm repose. / Amidst this chaos, nature's voice was heard, / A murmuring stream, a whisper in the wind, / The distant thunder, and the eagle’s cry, / All blending into one majestic song.
