Have you not oft, in the still wind , Heard sylvan notes of a strange kind, That rose one moment, and then fell Swooning away like a far knell? Listen!-that wave of perfume broke Into sea-music, as I spoke, Fainter than that which seems to roar On the moon's silver-sanded shore, When through the silence of the night Is heard the ebb and flow of light.
