Welcome, though silent and intangible!— 30

And lives there one, of all that come and go

On the great waters toiling to and fro,

One, who has watched thee at some quiet hour

Enthroned aloft in undisputed power,

Or crossed by vapoury streaks and clouds that move 35

Catching the lustre they in part reprove—

Nor sometimes felt a fitness in thy sway

To call up thoughts that shun the glare of day,

And make the serious happier than the gay?
