Out of the valleys, mist was not yet gone,—

Like sleeping rivers; it were hard for words

To say that quiet wonder, and that sleep,

And I alone, walking along the steep,

To see and love it, like the God who made!...

And I would draw the sea—when I was young

I lived by sea. Its long slow cannonade

Sullen against the cliffs, as the waves swung,

I heard now, and the hollow guttural roar
