He saw a dim, enchanted hollow roll

Beneath him, and the brush thereof was fleece;

And, like the body of the perfect peace

That thralled the whole, abode the break of day.

It seemed no wind had ever come that way,

Nor sound dwelt there, nor echo found the place.

And Hugh lay lapped in wonderment a space,

Vexed with a snarl whereof the ends were lost,

Till, shivering, he wondered if a frost

Had fallen with the dying of the blast.
