Tempest Dark



I see the light, and I hear the sound;
   I'll sail on the flood of the tempest dark,
With the calm within and the light around
   Which makes night day:
And thou, when the gloom is deep and stark,
   Look from thy dull earth, slumber-bound,
My moon-like flight thou then mayst mark
   On high, far away.

-Percy Bysshe Shelley,
The Two Spirits: An Allegory, 1824
