Lyrics : Chimes
Sweet chimes! that in the loneliness of night
Salute the pa**ing hour, and in the dark
And silent chambers of the household mark
The movements of the myriad orbs of light
Through my close eyelids, by the inner sight
I see the constellations in the arc
Of their great circles moving on, and hark!
I almost hear them singing in their flight
Better than sleep it is to lie awake
O'ercanopied by the vast starry dome
Of the immeasurable sky;
To feel
The slumbering world sink under us, and make
Hardly an eddy,—a mere rush of foam
On the great sea beneath a sinking keel
Salute the pa**ing hour, and in the dark
And silent chambers of the household mark
The movements of the myriad orbs of light
Through my close eyelids, by the inner sight
I see the constellations in the arc
Of their great circles moving on, and hark!
I almost hear them singing in their flight
Better than sleep it is to lie awake
O'ercanopied by the vast starry dome
Of the immeasurable sky;
To feel
The slumbering world sink under us, and make
Hardly an eddy,—a mere rush of foam
On the great sea beneath a sinking keel
