Background
A description of the experience
The Poems of James Russell Lowell
Now fold thy wings a little while
My tranced soul and lie
At rest on this calypso isle
That floats in mellow sky
A thousand isles with gentle motion
Rock upon the sunset ocean;
A thousand isles of thousand hues
How bright! How beautiful! How rare!
Into my spirit they infuse
A purer a diviner air
