 | The Sea-King |  |
XIV.
Ragnar turned away his sight,Yet when he closed his eyes,
He viewed the ardent flame of light,
And saw the blazing skies.
The glittering element with power intense,
Shone through the folds, that veiled the orb of sense:
Yet when he turned once more his gaze
Upon the vision dire,
And thought to view the spreading blaze
And see the world on fire,—
How was he astonished! an emerald isle
Bright as its rival gem,
147
Answered the sunbeam's glorious smile;
And a swelling and ebbing sea was there,
And mingling sound in which was a calm,
And fragrance from blossom buds, blushing and fair,
Tempered the current of odorous air,
Till it rushed on the spirit, a full tide of balm.
