And he was gone, lost in the morning-gray,

Rose-streaked and gold to eastward. Did we dream?

Could the poor twelve-hours hold this argument

As duly at each sunset's droop of sail,

Delay of oar, submission to sea-might,

I still remember, you as duly dint

Remembrance, with the punctual rapid style,

Into—what calm cold page!

Thus soul escapes
