ABOUT the sheltered garden ground

The trees stand strangely still.

The vale ne’er seemed so deep before,

Nor yet so high the hill.

An awful sense of quietness,

A fulness of repose,

Breathes from the dewy garden-lawns,

The silent garden rows.

As the hoof-beats of a troop of horse

Heard far across a plain,

A nearer knowledge of great thoughts

Thrills vaguely through my brain.

I lean my head upon my arm,

My heart’s too full to think;

Like the roar of seas, upon my heart

Doth the morning stillness sink.
