The soft voluptuous opiate shades, The sun just gone, the eager light dispell'd -- (I too will soon be gone, dispell'd,) A haze -- nirwana -- rest and night -- oblivion.

And whence and why come you? We know not whence, (was the answer,) We only know that we drift here with the rest, That we linger'd and lagg'd--but were wafted at last, and are now here, To make the passing shower's concluding drops.
