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 removèd place will fit,

Where glowing embers through the room

Teach light to counterfeit a gloom; 80

Far from all resort of mirth,
