"Never did sun more beautifully steep
In his first splendor, valley, rock or hill:
Never saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!
The river glideth at his own sweet will:
Dear God! The very houses seem asleep;
And all that mighty heart is lying still!
(From Wordsworth's sonnet Composed upon Westminster Bridge)
