a slumber did my spirit seal

 

A SLUMBER did my spirit seal;    
I had no human fears: 
She seem'd a thing that could not feel    
The touch of earthly years.    

No motion has she now, no force; 
She neither hears nor sees; 
Roll'd round in earth's diurnal course    
With rocks, and stones, and trees. 

William Wordsworth, 1799
