—The air is fill’d with sleep,

With the stream’s whisper, and the citron’s breath;

The fix’d and solemn stars

Gleam through my dungeon-bars—

Wake, rushing winds! this breezeless calm is death!

Ye watch-fires of the skies!

The stillness of your eyes

Looks too intensely through my troubled soul;

I feel this weight of rest

An earth-load on my breast—
