Bot dwarfed % half my stature: Round me glo~ed
Bright creatures clad in lucen, robes and crowned
Whose language ofitself harmonious moved
golden poetry this was their only tongue,
Those FIRE eyed rninsres Of the diamond Sun
with these dvclt some cycles Of their sphere,
A high Priest ofthe Beautiful, whose life
Was as n stars thu. sniies and sings 10 Heaven.
The mystic hand famed out: the voice cried OS!

With h its populous plains and sounding seas
In still Eternity. A countless host
The mighty world possessed. whose dreamy eyes
And hitting brows dropped heavily with thought.
There roamed ! long amid the lofty woods,
Or on the silent mountains roamed, alone
Or With illustrous shapes discussing free
Questions that sound the very sea OF things.
Whose pillows chant around the feet OF God
4 rnyslcal deep melody This passed.
The mystic hand famed ont: the voice cried ONl'

and Aidens spiritual beauty fading
From my worn face, sunset from the clouds
OF Earhs hesperides.
And what had love,
The many.mooned and wonderful 10 eyes
or mortal mould Its people saw all space
A board whereon the Jan his problems drew
In lincs exact nor would allow a skill
Profounder far than tha, - Their vision took
Not In The beautiful drama Of the Sun,
Nor knew they that Imagination gives lpower'
Tho BARD whose songs ARE fhoiring worlds his
Plodders who ever cry, The Truth is found y
When Heaven bright Lords, in idle moments, sport
Al all their hollow boast

Sat grilnIy on the mountains of the orb
And YEARLY passed away to nObngncss.
The mystic hand famed out the voice cried On y
moved athwnrt the cold, dead Moon, tpoor Moon
By Earhs masma slain and OF It's mates,
Transucont spheres in number four, bere
stood on Earth my Inst dim prison-house
No other orba could take my liehtuine-litc.
Ye Herarchs had not looked for this
The purgatories closed by He'll
Dear Heaven
Bear with me Tor a while, little while
\ or am very sad.
