⁠For the dim strait footway dividing
⁠The waters that breathed below
⁠Led safe to the kindliest of shelters
⁠That ever awoke into light:
⁠And still in remembrance abiding
⁠Broods over the stars that glow
⁠And the water that eddies and welters
⁠The passionate peace of the night.

⁠All night long, in the world of sleep,
⁠Skies and waters were soft and deep:
⁠Shadow clothed them, and silence made
⁠Soundless music of dream and shade:
⁠All above us, the livelong night,
⁠Shadow, kindled with sense of light;
⁠All around us, the brief night long,
⁠Silence, laden with sense of song.
⁠Stars and mountains without, we knew,
⁠Watched and waited, the soft night through:
