He left the past year’s dwelling for the new,

Stole with soft step its shining archway through,

Built up its idle door, 20

Stretched in his last-found home and knew the old no more.

Thanks for the heavenly message brought by thee,

Child of the wandering sea,

Cast from her lap forlorn!

From thy dead lips a clearer note is born 25

Than ever Triton blew from wreathèd horn!

While on mine ear it rings,
