again beside my Love in dream:
 * Earth was so beautiful, the moon was shining;

The muffled voice of many a cataract stream
 * Came like a love-song, as, with arms entwining,

Our hearts were mixed in unison supreme.

The wind lay spell-bound in each pillared pine,
 * The tasselled larches had no sound or motion,

As my whole life was sinking into thine—
 * Sinking into a deep, unfathomed ocean

Of infinite love—uncircumscribed, divine.
