In the surging swell
Where joys abound,
In perfumed wavelets’
Trembling sound,
In the world’s soft breathing
Whisp’ring round –
To drown thus – sink down thus
– all thought gone – delight alone!
Last lines of Wagner’s Tristan

In perfumed wavelets’
Trembling sound,
In the world’s soft breathing
Whisp’ring round –
To drown thus – sink down thus
