<poem> | |||
There is sweet music here that softer falls | |||
Than petals from blown roses on the grass, | |||
Or night-dews on still waters between walls | |||
Of shadowy granite, in a gleaming pass; | |||
Music that gentlier on the spirit lies, | |||
Than tir'd eyelids upon tir'd eyes; | |||
Music that brings sweet sleep | |||
down from the blissful skies. | |||
Here are cool mosses deep, | |||
And thro' the moss the ivies creep, | |||
And in the stream the long-leaved flowers weep, | |||
And from the craggy ledge the poppy hangs in sleep. | |||

There is sweet music here that softer falls
Than petals from blown roses on the grass,
Or night-dews on still waters between walls
Of shadowy granite, in a gleaming pass;
Music that gentlier on the spirit lies,
Than tir'd eyelids upon tir'd eyes;
Music that brings sweet sleep
down from the blissful skies.
Here are cool mosses deep,
And thro' the moss the ivies creep,
And in the stream the long-leaved flowers weep,
And from the craggy ledge the poppy hangs in sleep.
