So ravishingly soft upon the tide Of the infuriate gust it did career, It might have soothed its rugged charioteer, And sunk him to a zephyr; - then it died, Melting in melody; - and I descried, Born to some wizard stream, the form appear Of druid sage, who on the far-off ear Pour'd his lone song, to which the surge replied: Or thought I heard the hapless pilgrim's knell, Lost in some wild enchanted forest's bounds, By unseen beings sung; or are these sounds Such, as 'tis said, at night are known to swell By starting shepherd on the lonely heath, Keeping his night-watch sad, portending death A Ballad. Be hush'd, be hush'd, ye bitter winds, Ye pelting rains, a little rest: Lie still, lie still, ye busy thoughts, That wring with grief my aching breast. Oh! cruel was my faithless love, To triumph o'er an artless maid; About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
