A Slumber Did My Spirit Seal by William Wordsworth

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

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