O magic sleep O comfortable bird, That broodest oer the troubled sea of the mind Till it is hushd and smooth.
Quotes about hushd (3 Quotes)
O sleep O gentle sleep Natures soft nurse, how have I frighted thee, That thou no more wilt weigh mine eyelids down And steep my senses in forgetfulness Why, rather, sleep, liest thou in smoky cribs, Upon uneasy pallets stretching thee, And hushd with buzzing night-flies to thy slumber, Than in the perfumd chambers of the great, Under canopies of costly state, And lulld with sound of sweetest melody.
Fair laughs the morn, and soft the zephyr blows While proudly riding o'er the azure realm In gallant trim the gilded vessel goes, Youth on the prow, and Pleasure at the helm Regardless of the sweeping whirlwind's sway, That hush'd in grim repose expects his evening prey.
