Along This Coast I Led The Vacant Hours

Along this coast I led the vacant Hours To the lone sunshine on the uneven strand, And nipt the stubborn grass and juicier flowers With one unconscious inobservant hand, While crept the other by degrees more near Until it rose the cherisht form around, And prest it closer, only that the ear Might lean, and deeper drink some half-heard sound.
