Their heartfelt praise are singing.

Through mists that, like a shroud around,

In densest folds the soul had bound,

My life has known a song to sound,

Nerve dying hope by ringing

As clear as tolls a lighthouse bell

Where ghost-like rush the breakers fell—

The soul they would have borne to hell

Was warn’d from it by singing.

A shadeless waste, a mist-hid sea,
