But, as a passion from the mooded mind,

The storm had died, and wearily the wind

Fell fast asleep at evening, like one

That hath been toiling in the fiery sun.

And the white sail dropt downward, as the wing

Of wounded sea-bird, feebly murmuring

Unto the mast—it was a deathly calm,

And holy stillness, like a shadow, swam

All over the wide sea, and the boat stood,

Like her of Sodom, in the solitude,
