I lay as dead, or, down among the drown'd,

I blindly stared, unvalued to the end.

There! take again the kiss I took from thee

Last night in sleep. I met thee in a dream

And drew thee closer than a monk may deem

Good for the soul. I know not how it be,

But this I know: if God be good to me

I shall be raised again to thine esteem.
