So was my soul; but when 'twas full
Of unrest to o'erloading,
A voice of something beautiful
Whispered a dim foreboding,
And yet so soft, so sweet, so low,
It had not more of joy than woe;
And, as the sea doth oft lie still,
Making its waters meet,
As if by an
unconscious
will,
For the moon's silver feet,
So lay my soul within mine eyes
When thou, its guardian moon, didst rise.

Two of those nymphs meanwhile two garlands bound
Of
freshest
flowers which in that mead they found,

Against their bridal day, which was not long:
Sweet Thames!
