When I heard the learn'd astronomer, br When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me, br When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide, br and measure them, br When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with br much applause in the lecture-room, br How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick, br Till rising and gliding out I wander'd off by myself, br In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time, br Look'd up in perfect silence at the stars.
