(v)
A SLUMBER did my spirit seal;
I had no human fears.
She seem'd a thing that could not feel
The touch of earthly years.
I had no human fears.
She seem'd a thing that could not feel
The touch of earthly years.
No motion has she now, no force;
She neither hears nor sees,
Roll'd round in earth's diurnal course,
With rocks, and stones, and trees.
She neither hears nor sees,
Roll'd round in earth's diurnal course,
With rocks, and stones, and trees.
