And oft, as if her head she bowed,

Stooping through a fleecy cloud.

Oft, on a plat of rising ground,

I hear the far-off curfew sound,

Over some wide-watered shore, 75

Swinging slow with sullen roar;

[Or, if the air will not permit],

Some still [removed] place will fit,

Where glowing embers through the room

Teach light to counterfeit a gloom, 80
