The Symptom Of The Gale'

1327

The Symptom of the Gale-
The Second of Dismay-
Between its Rumor and its Face-
Is almost Revelry-

The Houses firmer root-
The Heavens cannot be found-
The Upper Surfaces of things
Take covert in the Ground-

The Mem'ry of the Sun
Not Any can recall-
Although by Nature's sterling Watch
So scant an interval-

And when the Noise is caught
And Nature looks around-
“We dreamed it”? She interrogates-
“Good Morning”-We propound?
