  Below the gardens and the darkening pines
  The living water sinks among the stones,
  Sinking yet foaming till the snowy tones
  Merge with the fog drawn landward in dim lines.
  The cloud dissolves among the flowering vines,
  And now the definite mountain-side disowns
  The fluid world, the immeasurable zones.
  Then white oblivion swallows all designs.
  
  But still the rich confusion of the sea,
  Unceasing voice, sombre and solacing,
  Rises through veils of silence past the trees;
  In restless repetition bound, yet free,
  Wave after wave in deluge fresh releasing
  An ancient speech, hushed in tremendous ease.  less
