I	A
THOU who stealest fire	B
From the fountains of the past	C
To glorify the present oh haste	D
Visit my low desire	B
Strengthen me enlighten me	E
I faint in this obscurity	E
Thou dewy dawn of memory	E
	-
II	A
Come not as thou camest of late	F
Flinging the gloom of yesternight	F
On the white day but robed in soften d light	F
Of orient state	F
Whilome thou camest with the morning mist	F
Even as a maid whose stately brow	G
The dew impearled winds of dawn have kiss d	F
When she as thou	G
Stays on her floating locks the lovely freight	F
Of overflowing blooms and earliest shoots	H
Of orient green giving safe pledge of fruits	H
Which in wintertide shall star	I
The black earth with brilliance rare	J
	-
III	A
Whilome thou camest with the morning mist	F
And with the evening cloud	F
Showering thy gleaned wealth into my open breast	F
Those peerless flowers which in the rudest wind	F
Never grow sere	K
When rooted in the garden of the mind	F
Because they are the earliest of the year	K
Nor was the night thy shroud	F
In sweet dreams softer than unbroken rest	F
Thou leddest by the hand thine infant Hope	L
The eddying of her garments caught from thee	F
The light of thy great presence and the cope	L
Of the half attain d futurity	F
Tho deep not fathomless	H
Was cloven with the million stars which tremble	M
O er the deep mind of dauntless infancy	H
Small thought was there of life s distress	H
For sure she deem d no mist of earth could dull	M
Those spirit thrilling eyes so keen and beautiful	M
Sure she was nigher to heaven s spheres	H
Listening the lordly music flowing from	N
The illimitable years	H
O strengthen me enlighten me	H
I faint in this obscurity	H
Thou dewy dawn of memory	H
	-
IV	O
Come forth I charge thee arise	H
Thou of the many tongues the myriad eyes	H
Thou comest not with shows of flaunting vines	H
Unto mine inner eye	A
Divinest Memory	H
Thou wert not nursed by the waterfall	P
Which ever sounds and shines	H
A pillar of white light upon the wall	P
Of purple cliffs aloof descried	H
Come from the woods that belt the gray hillside	H
The seven elms the poplars four	Q
That stand beside my father s door	Q
And chiefly from the brook that loves	H
To purl o er matted cress and ribbed sand	H
Or dimple in the dark of rushy coves	H
Drawing into his narrow earthen urn	R
In every elbow and turn	R
The filter d tribute of the rough woodland	H
O hither lead thy feet	H
Pour round mine ears the livelong bleat	H
Of the thick fleeced sheep from wattled folds	H
Upon the ridged wolds	H
When the first matin song hath waken d loud	H
Over the dark dewy earth forlorn	S
What time the amber morn	S
Forth gushes from beneath a low hung cloud	H
	-
V	H
Large dowries doth the raptured eye	A
To the young spirit present	H
When first she is wed	H
And like a bride of old	H
In triumph led	H
With music and sweet showers	H
Of festal flowers	H
Unto the dwelling she must sway	T
Well hast thou done great artist Memory	H
In setting round thy first experiment	H
With royal framework of wrought gold	H
Needs must thou dearly love thy first essay	T
And foremost in thy various gallery	H
Place it where sweetest sunlight falls	H
Upon the storied walls	H
For the discovery	H
And newness of thine art so pleased thee	H
That all which thou hast drawn of fairest	H
Or boldest since but lightly weighs	H
With thee unto the love thou bearest	H
The first born of thy genius Artist like	U
Ever retiring thou dost gaze	H
On the prime labor of thine early days	H
No matter what the sketch might be	H
Whether the high field on the bushless pike	U
Or even a sand built ridge	V
Of heaped hills that mound the sea	H
Overblown with murmurs harsh	W
Or even a lowly cottage whence we see	H
Stretch d wide and wild the waste enormous marsh	W
Where from the frequent bridge	V
Like emblems of infinity	H
The trenched waters run from sky to sky	A
Or a garden bower d close	H
With plaited alleys of the trailing rose	H
Long alleys falling down to twilight grots	H
Or opening upon level plots	H
Of crowned lilies standing near	K
Purple spiked lavender	B
Whither in after life retired	H
From brawling storms	H
From weary wind	H
With youthful fancy re inspired	H
We may hold converse with all forms	H
Of the many sided mind	H
And those whom passion hath not blinded	H
Subtle thoughted myriad minded	H
My friend with you to live alone	X
Were how much better than to own	X
A crown a sceptre and a throne	X
	-
O strengthen me englighten me	H
I faint in this obscurity	H
Thou dewy dawn of memory	H
