Here let me stand, that, for a while, I too
may gaze on nature. Marvellous blue tints
of a morning sea and an unclouded sky
contrasting with an amber-coloured shore, —
all luminously beautiful and grand.
Here let me stand and think I see these things
(I really did see them for a moment,
soon after I had stopped) — and not, here also,
my fantasies, my reminiscences,
the incomparable idols of delight.
