To outer senses there is peace, + 

A dream-like peace on either hand, + 

Deep silence in the shadowy land, + 

Deep silence where the shadows cease, + 

Save for a cry that echoes shrill + 

From some lone bird disconsolate; + 

A curlew calling to its mate; + 

The answer from the distant hill. + 

And, herald of my love to Him + 

Who, waiting for the dawn, doth lie, + 

The orbèd maiden leaves the sky, + 

And the white firs grow more dim. + 
