Subject(s): Calm; Death; Solitude; Placid; Undisturbed; Tranquility; Dead, The; Loneliness
DEEP in a distant bay, deeply hidden
There is an island far away from me
Which lulls the tumbling waves to dreamy quiet;
And there steep cliffs against the water's riot
Stand up, and to their shelter ships are bidden,
Where those curved arms shut in a tranquil sea.
