Faint recollection seems to tell That he is yet where mortals dwell   A thought received with languid pleasure! FAINT RECOLLECTION SEEMS TO TELL THAT HE IS YET WHERE MORTALS DWELL A THOUGHT RECEIVED WITH LANGUID PLEASURE
? 515 [55] Never did pulse so quickly throb, And never heart so loudly panted; [56] He looks, he cannot choose but look; Like some one reading in a book--[57] A book that is enchanted. 520 Ah, well-a-day for Peter Bell! He will be turned to iron soon, Meet Statue for the court of Fear! His hat is up--and every hair Bristles, and whitens in the moon! 525 He looks, he ponders, looks again; He sees a motion--hears a groan; His eyes will burst--his heart will break-- He gives a loud and frightful shriek, And back he falls, [58] as if his life were flown! 530 PART SECOND We left our Hero in a trance, Beneath the alders, near the river; The Ass is by the river-side, And, where the feeble breezes glide, Upon the stream the moonbeams quiver. 535 A happy respite! but at length He feels the glimmering of the moon; Wakes with glazed eye, and feebly sighing-- To sink, perhaps, where he is lying, Into a second swoon! [59] 540 He lifts his head, he sees his staff; He touches--'tis to him a treasure!  PART SECOND OF PETER BELL BY WILLIAM WORDSWORTH THIS LIBER OF OX RECORDING IS IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN PART SECOND WE LEFT OUR HERO IN A TRANCE BENEATH THE ALDERS NEAR THE RIVER THE ASSES BY THE RIVER SIDE AND WHERE THE FEEBLE BREEZES GLIDE UPON THE STREAM THE MOONBEAMS QUIVER A HAPPY RESPITE BUT AT LENGTH HE FEELS THE GLIMMERING OF THE MOON WAKES WITH GLAZED EYE AND FEEBLY SIGHING TO SINK PERHAPS WHERE HE IS LYING INTO A SECOND SWOON HE LIFTS HIS HEAD HE SEES HIS STAFF HE TOUCHES TIS TO HIM A TREASURE
