So she looks in on his uncover'd eyes,

And seeing all within so drear and dark,

Her own bright soul dies in her like a spark.

LXXVII.

Backward she falls, like a pale prophetess,

Under the swoon of holy divination:

And what had all surpass'd her simple guess,

She now resolves in this dark revelation;

Death's very mystery,—oblivious death;—

Long sleep,—deep night, and an entranced breath.
