But all look’d up, where glorified anew

Psyche sat islanded in living day.

Breathless they watcht her, till the last red ray

Fled from her lifted arm that waved adieu.

There left they her, turning with sad farewells

To haste their homeward course, as best they might:

But night was crowding up the barren fells,

And hid full soon their rocky path from sight;

And each unto his stumbling foot to hold
