As in a gentle her:

And I could move my een:

Like one, t on a lonely road
Doth walk in fear and dread,
And urnd round, walks on
And turns no more his head:
Because ful ?end

But soon thd a wind on me,
Ne sound ne motion made:
Its pat upon the sea
In ripple or in shade.
It raisd my fannd my cheek,
Like a meadow-gale of spring--
It mingled strangely h my fears,
Yet it felt like a welcoming.

Yet sly too:
Sly, sly blehe breeze--

And I h sobs did pray--

So smoot rewn!

And the moon.

Full many s shadows were,
Like as of torches came.
A little distance from the prow

And by the holy rood,

And te light,

In crimson colours came.
A little distance from the prow

And by the holy rood
A man all light, a seraph-man,
On every corse tood.
