tender and rich sensuous beauty
"Au delicate serene, and faint
And lovely as an angel saint
Tranced in vision of God throne,
kapt silent, worshiping alone,
Stands the fair planet Mercury.
And soft. and pale, and droamily
The lovely vision dasns on me-
A world all fragrance and all bloom,
Ofsilyer morn and seven fold noon
OF amber eve, and night that sails
Dat from the west OF halcy0n gales,
Breathes heaven bonn fragrance on her way
And seems young sister 10 the Day
And such world no mortal verse
Hath er essayed TO PAL NJ its form.
So soft so clear SO bright and warm,
II seems an Infant Universe
The miniature OF all completeness,
The living soul of heavenly sweetness
Fair as a boy god laid asleep
Beneath immortal, trees,
Whom angel Harmonies
Forever watch and keep.
An ocean ike a golden ring
Around its bright equator shines;
Isles crimson hued and blossoming,
Like heavens own deathless cmes
Are stars in these ely sian waters;
And beauty in them dwells,
Weaving delicious spells
Blending in union sweet her radiant sons and daughte
Near every lsets marge,
Full many golden barge
Appears moved on by wings OF lucent snow.
Like white eagles in their notion there
Fit o'er he gmmeriDg seas
And far. Oh, far below,
Beneath the living ocean. land appears,
Covered by water As by crystal spheres,
Where forms Of Beauty dwell in bowers OF grss
And locking uRward through the wave serene,
Behold bright baiks above the surface driven
As man on earth shall yet angel fleets IN heaven
Love enchented
Beauty haunted,
Tranced in wonder and surprise,
All my being
Merged in seeing,
Idescond from cut the skies
And the Ky is all a temple,
Filled with statue forms OF grace
These angelic souls resemble,
And each hath angels face.
And the sky above me glimmers
Like cloud OF gold and white,
And an angel empire shimmers
Through the halt transparent light -
Faces holy, blessed, glorious,
Faces loving, pure, victorious,
Faces varying in spIeDdori
Faces soft and calm and tender,
Looking down in much love
From their golden nights above.
hat they trance my spirit deep
In a heaven reye aling Sleep
