The waters, and the crisp'd waters lisp'd

The kisses of the wind, that, sick with love,

Fainted at intervals, and grew again

To utterance of passion. Ye cannot shape

Fancy so fair as is this memory.

Methought all excellence that ever was

Had drawn herself from many thousand years,

And all the separate Edens of this earth,

To centre in this place and time. I listen'd,

And her words stole with most prevailing sweetness
