Stealthily and perpetually settling and loosely lying,
Hushing the latest traffic of the drowsy town.

Additional quotes by Robert Bridges

Scatter the clouds that hide
The face of heaven, and show
Where sweet peace doth abide,
Where Truth and Beauty grow.

Thou sayest farewell, and lo!
I have thee by the hands,
And will not let thee go.
