Methought I saw	A
Life swiftly treading over endless space	B
And at her foot print but a bygone pace	B
The ocean past which with increasing wave	C
Swallow'd her steps like a pursuing grave	C
	-
Sad were my thoughts that anchor'd silently	D
On the dead waters of that passionless sea	D
Unstirr'd by any touch of living breath	E
Silence hung over it and drowsy Death	E
Like a gorged sea bird slept with folded wings	F
On crowded carcases sad passive things	F
That wore the thin gray surface like a veil	G
Over the calmness of their features pale	G
	-
And there were spring faced cherubs that did sleep	H
Like water lilies on that motionless deep	H
How beautiful with bright unruffled hair	I
On sleek unfretted brows and eyes that were	J
Buried in marble tombs a pale eclipse	K
And smile bedimpled cheeks and pleasant lips	K
Meekly apart as if the soul intense	L
Spake out in dreams of its own innocence	M
And so they lay in loveliness and kept	N
The birth night of their peace that Life e'en wept	N
With very envy of their happy fronts	O
For there were neighbor brows scarr'd by the brunts	O
Of strife and sorrowing where Care had set	P
His crooked autograph and marr'd the jet	P
Of glassy locks with hollow eyes forlorn	Q
And lips that curl'd in bitterness and scorn	Q
Wretched as they had breathed of this world's pain	R
And so bequeathed it to the world again	S
Through the beholder's heart in heavy sighs	O
	-
So lay they garmented in torpid light	T
Under the pall of a transparent night	T
Like solemn apparitions lull'd sublime	U
To everlasting rest and with them Time	U
Slept as he sleeps upon the silent face	O
Of a dark dial in a sunless place	O
