Is flashing round me, and a tone

Arises from its measured motion,

How sweet! did any heart now share in my emotion.

‘Yet now despair itself is mild,

Even as the winds and waters are;

I could lie down like a tired child,

And weep away the life of care

Which I have borne and yet must bear,

Till death like sleep might steal on me,

And I might feel in the warm air
