And hither, haply, thou wilt shape thy neck,

And settle, like a silvery cloud, to rest,

If thy wild image, flaring in the abyss,

Startle thee not aloft. Lone aeronaut,

That catchest, on thine airy looking-out,

Glassing the hollow darkness, many a lake,

Lay, for the night, thy lily bosom here,

There is the deep unsounded for thy bath,

The shallow for the shaking of thy plumes,

The dreamy cove, or cedar-wooded isle,
