Of foaming caverns and o'erwhelming waters;

Then, shuddering awake, awhile she lay,

And watched the moonlight, cold and white, which poured

Through the warm dusk, from the high window-slit;

When, all at once, the strangeness of the room

Closed in upon her with bewildering dread.

She stirred; the bents, beneath her, rustled strange;

She started in affright, and, swaying, stood

Within the streaming moonlight, till, at last,

In memory, once more disaster swept
