That gurgled in its deeps, as if the breath

Went through its lungs of agony and death!

The sun is lost within the labyrinth

Of clouds of purple and pale hyacinth,

That are the frontlet of the sister sky

Kissing her brother ocean; and they lie

Bathing in blushes, till the rival queen,

Night, with her starry tiar, floateth in⁠—

A dark and dazzling beauty! that doth draw

Over the light of love a shade of awe
