XXXVIII.

There are some moments when the heart stands still;
As if the mighty touch that deigns to fill
Our sands had left them where they last ran down.
Sebastian wander'd through the forest brown,
And vineyard fields, that clothed the mountain's side,
Unconscious as the rill, his murmuring guide;
Till the last evening trumpet, through the grate,
Told him he stood before Granada's gate.
He reach'd his couch, its broider'd canopy
Could charm no slumber to his weary eye.
