(A visible link unto the home of my heart),

Ran amber toward the West, and nigh the sea,

Parting my own loved mountains, was received

Shorn of its strength, into the sympathy

Of that small bay, which into open main

Glow'd intermingling close beneath the sun

Spirit of Love! That little hour was bound,

Shut in from Time, and dedicate to thee;

Thy fires from heav'n had touch'd it, and the earth

They fell on became hallow'd evermore.
