First Line: Up stole a fog, a chill and ghastly thing
Last Line: Lay green and glad beyond the waters gray.
Subject(s): Fog; Night; Sea; Soul; Haze; Bedtime; Ocean
UP stole a fog, a chill and ghastly thing,
That gloomed the sea and hid her face from me;
My soul was like a bird with broken wing;
A dismal bell warned homing barks away.
Then shot a sun-shaft; like a phantom host,
Born of the night and mailed in sullen white,
The riven mists drew off, and lo! the coast
Lay green and glad beyond the waters gray.
