somnambular
English
Adjective
somnambular (comparative more somnambular, superlative most somnambular)
- sleepy; asleep
- Elizabeth Barrett Browning
- And while the palpitating peaks break out
Ecstatic from somnambular repose
With answers to the presence and the shout,
We, poets of the people, who take part
With elemental justice, natural right,
Join in our echoes also, nor refrain.
- And while the palpitating peaks break out
- Elizabeth Barrett Browning
