-
Thou leanest to the shell of nightB
Dear lady a divining earC
In that soft choiring of delightB
What sound hath made thy heart to fearD
Seemed it of rivers rushing forthE
From the grey deserts of the northE
-
That mood of thineF
Is his if thou but scan it wellG
Who a mad tale bequeaths to usH
At ghosting hour conjurableG
And all for some strange name he readI
In Purchas or in HolinshedI
