At the fifth, standing idle,
No word they said;
At the sixth, "Bring candles
For one dead."
Swept low down across the East,
Through the morning grey,
A flock of white clouds swiftly,
Dim, far away;
Like a flight of white wings:—
What were they?
At the fifth, standing idle,

Swept low down across the East,

A flock of white clouds swiftly,

Like a flight of white wings:—
What were they?
