All round the coast the languid air did swoon, Breathing like one that hath a weary dream. Full-faced above the valley stood the moon ; And like a downward smoke, the slender stream Along the cliff to fall and pause and fall did seem. A land of streams! some, like a downward smoke, Slow-dropping veils of thinnest lawn, did go;...

Сторінка 70 - ... bringest an assuaging balm — eloquent opium! that with thy potent rhetoric stealest away •the purposes of wrath...
