I lay in slumber's shadowy vale

Samuel T. Coleridge.


III.

And more to lulle him in his slumber soft,

A trickling stream from high rock tumbling down

And ever-drizzling raine upon the loft,

Mixt with a murmuring winde, much like the sowne

Of swarming Bees, did cast him in a swowne.

No other noyse, nor peoples troublous cryes,
