Alighted by the lonely ladye’s side.

He sat like winter o’er the wasted year⁠—

Like melancholy winter, drawing near

To its own death. “Oh me! the worm at last

Will gorge upon me, and the autumn blast

Howl by!—Where?—where?—there is no worm to creep

Amid the waters of the lonely deep;

But I will take me Agathè upon

This sorrowful, sore bosom, and anon,

Down, down, through azure silence, we shall go,
