In a silver chain
Of evening rain,
Unravelled from the tumbling main,
And threading the eye of a yellow star:
So many times do I love again.”

And beads and prayer-books are the toys of age:
Pleased with this bauble still, as that before;
Till tired he sleeps, and lifes poor play is oer.”

The swinging waves pealed on the shore;
The saffron beach, all diamond drops
And beads of surge, prolonged the roar.”
