| | | .. AND 1 where within the surface of the river | |
| The shadows of the massy temples lie, | |
| And never are erased—but tremble ever | |
| Like things which every cloud can doom to die, | |
| Through lotus-paven canals, and wheresoever | 5 |
| The works of man pierced that serenest sky | |
| With tombs, and towers, and fanes, ’twas her delight | |
| To wander in the shadow of the night … | |
