Was peopled with the now subsiding hum
Of happy industry, whose work is done.
And as I turned me on my pillow o'er,
I heard the lapse of waves upon the shore,
Distinct as it had been at broad noonday,
And I were wandering at Rockaway.
LOVE
We two that planets erst had been
Are now a double star,
And in the heavens may be seen,
Where that we fixèd are.
Yet, whirled with subtle power along,
Into new space we enter,
And evermore with spheral song
Revolve about one centre.
Feb. 3.
The deeds of king and meanest hedger
Stand side by side in heaven's ledger.
'T will soon appear if we but look
At evening into earth's day-book,
Which way the great account doth stand
Between the heavens and the land.
THE EVENING WIND
The eastern mail comes lumbering in,
