Faint and more faint the music grows⁠—

Yet how entrancing in its close⁠—

Sweeter! oh sweeter than the hymn

Of an enthusiast who has given

His anthem forth, at twilight dim,

And hopes with it to float to heaven.

And see, where yonder tempests meet,

The rapid glance of silver feet⁠—

The last of that refulgent train

Who leave this desolated sphere;
