 Till heaven darkened, and the rain,

Smoking athwart the watery plain,

Fell down with wintry weather;

Then, like a lark that upward flies,

Love swiftly lessened through the skies,

On winnowing feather.

But the poor boat drifts on, resigned

To furies of the wave and wind,

And wintry weather.
