text:  So while unto thy lips its shore The stream of life enchanted flows-- Drown'd deep in Lethe's calm repose The grief that stung before!" Seized by the god--behold the dark And dreaming Prophetess[5] arise! She gazes from the lofty bark Where Home's dim vapour wraps the skies-- "A vapour all of human birth! As mists ascending seen and gone So fade earth's great ones from the earth And leave the changeless gods alone! Behind the steed that skirs away Or on the galley's deck--sits Care! To-morrow comes--and Life is where? At least--we'll live to-day!" [2] Ulysses
