Behold an Indian isle reposed	A
Upon the deep s enamoured breast	A
Even like a royal bride be rosed	A
With passion in her happy rest	A
Or when the morn is there disclosed	A
Or eve is robing in the west	A
The deep as by that isle embossed	A
With central gauds of sumless cost	A
And else outspread in circuit wide	A
And round as heaven from side to side	A
Might figure to a fancy bold	A
A wide vast shield of fretted gold	A
Dropped by some conquer d elder god	A
When on his track where er he trod	A
Jove s chasing thunders rolled	A
Or in the broad noon domed with heaven	B
A world wide temple s marble floor	C
It seemeth with one alter graven	B
From the rude mass of things terrene	B
By Time inspired with Eden lore	C
An isle like alter sculptured o er	D
With craggy hills and valleys green	B
And heaping forests hung between	B
By Time with an old love enthralled	A
Wrought thus in living emerald	A
And after nature s earliest style	E
Is shaped that wondrous Indian isle	E
Or circling out beneath the moon	B
Or sowed with all the stars of night	A
And by the lamp like planets strewn	B
With long and flame like tracks of light	A
Might seem it to a watcher fond	A
Grey Time s broad seal of diamond	A
Enchased by nature memory taught	A
With one most rich and rare device	F
A haunting isolated thought	A
Of her sin ruined Paradise	F
	-
A summer island There the trees	G
Of glorious forms unseen elsewhere	H
Hang forth in golden congeries	G
Their fruit through all the purple year	I
And flowers of every sunset hue	J
And peerless plants of stateliest stem	K
Fresh showered each morn with honey dew	J
Voluptuously impave and gem	K
The pillary aisles of primal groves	G
That skirt the sunny sea board coves	G
Or hang in their umbrageous crowds	G
From coasting slopes like verdant clouds	G
While from the craggy midland hills	G
Out of their gelid springs the rills	G
Leap as exulting to be free	L
And thence in their bright liberty	L
Through glades and cultured valleys vast	A
And many a wide pasture lea	L
Come murmurously winding fast	A
And flashing to the sea	L
	-
There too what birds on plain and mountain	B
The fairest creatures of the earth	M
The deepest dipt in beauty s fountain	B
The summer s loveliest birth	M
Flock round and vividly unfold	A
Their fulgent wings of feathery gold	A
Bedropt with gem like lustres which	N
All interbeaming in their flight	A
Break as they pass into a rich	N
Flame vision on the sight	A
Thus fly they and with splendours rare	H
Emblaze the warm and genial air	H
	-
Such is the summer wealth and worth	M
Of that bright isle I d picture forth	O
Nor wants it fields that well afford	A
The yellow grain and mellow gourd	A
With many a cultivated plain	B
Prolific of the luscious cane	B
And mealy root for all things there	H
Are bounteous in their kind and fair	H
And genial all but the bad mind	A
Of recreant man And this hath made	A
Its very beauty seem designed	A
To deepen Evil s deadly shade	A
And given its repute to be	L
Borne far abroad by every wind	A
That wafts a white sail o er the sea	L
Even like the savour damp with doom	P
Of some o ergorged though costly tomb	P
O learn how like a Upas tree	L
Not fabled his dread cruelty	L
Can make a scene that else might tell	Q
Of Paradise a type of hell	Q
