Excerpts from the ReadingWillow English Library collection.

She glares in balls, front boxes, and the Ring,
A vain, unquiet, glittering, wretched thing!
Pride, pomp, and state but reach her outward part:

I have no time for idle cares
Through gazing on the unquiet sky.
And when an hour with calmer wings

Ah, by no wind those clouds are driven
That rustle through the unquiet Heaven
Uneasily, from morn till even,

Like the distant murmured music
Of unquiet, lovely seas:
While the winds were hushed in slumber

The settled shadow of an inward strife,
And an unquiet drooping of the eye,
As if its lid were charged with unshed tears.[48]

How sweet to feel, on the boon air,
All our unquiet pulses cease!
To feel that nothing can impair

The sunken reefs, and far away
The unquiet bright Atlantic plain?
--What, has some glamour made me sleep, 175

From the intense, clear, star-sown vault of heaven,
Over the lit sea's unquiet way,
In the rustling night-air came the answer: 15

_The sunken reefs, and far away_
_The unquiet bright Atlantic plain?_
_--What! has some glamour made me sleep,_

Or moonlight on a midnight stream, _35
Gives grace and truth to life's unquiet dream.
