And seeing that it was almost morningI too began to depart when I heardEver so faintly the whole of the thing:The water and the wind roving northwardAnd the muffled motions of the cityChoiring in an inhuman counterpointSo indescribably strange-yet-welcomeAnd full of free gloryThat as I strained to hear these songs conjointThe sun arose and I was overcome.(From "Ode to the Potomac")
