Where the stars sleep in the calm black stream,
|
Like some great lily, pale Ophelia floats,
|
Slowly floats, wound in her veils like a dream.
|
Half heard in the woods, halloos from distant throats.
|
|
A thousand years has sad Ophelia gone
|
Glimmering on the water, a phantom fair:
|
A thousand years her soft distracted song
|
Has waked the answering evening air.
