There is sweet music here that softer falls Than night dewy on still waters between walls A land where all things seem the same No trouble here no pain on pain The mounting wave will roll us shoreward soon Around the coast the languid air does swoon And between the sun and moon upon the shore There is sweet music that softer falls Music that gentlier on the spirit lies Than tired eyelids on tired eyes Eyes grown dim gazing on the pilot star Give us long rest dark death and dreamful ease In Lotus land we’ll live and die reclined Like Gods together careless of mankind Weary the sea weary the oar We will not wander wander no more
