Slumber, watcher, till the spheres,
Six and twenty thousand years
Have revolvd, and I return
To the spot where now I burn.
Other stars anon shall rise
To the axis of the skies;
Stars that soothe and stars that bless
With a sweet forgetfulness
Only when my round is oer
Shall the past disturb thy door.
