Which passage is dark and dreary?

• 1

  Life's city ways are dark,Men mutter by, the wellsOf the great waters moan.O death, O sea, O tide,The waters moan like bells.No light, no mark,The soul goes out aloneOn seas unknown.

• 2

  The skies are sown with stars tonight,

  The sea is sown with light,The hollows of the heaving floorGleam deep with light once more,The racing ebb-tide flashes pastAnd seeks the vacant vast,A wind steals from a world asleepAnd walks the restless deep.
