With musing mind I watch thee steal	A
Above those envious clouds that hid	B
Till now thy face thou dost reveal	A
More than the glaring sunlight did	B
So round me would I have thy light	C
In one broad sea of beauty lie	D
And who while thou dost rule the night	C
For day would sigh	D
Nor long for wings that he might flee	E
To find thy hidden face and ride the dark with thee	E
And hence it was that ever forth	F
My fancy doated more and more	G
Upon the wild poetic worth	H
Of that old tale in Grecian lore	G
Which to the head of Latmos gave	I
Supernal glories passion won	J
By him who in the mystic cave	I
Endymion	J
Was wont to meet thee night by night	C
And drink into his soul the spirit of thy light	C
	-
Not thus it was thy beauty shone	J
In these drear summers lately past	K
Disheartened world distrusting lone	J
I shuddered in misfortune s blast	K
Many that loved me once were nigh	D
Of whom now these I may not trust	L
And those forget me or they lie	D
Dark in the dust	L
And never can we meet again	J
Loving and loved as then beneath thy friendly reign	J
	-
O Cynthia It would even seem	M
That portions from our spirits fell	N
Like scent from flowers throughout life s dream	M
And by that clue invisible	O
A gathered after scene of all	P
Affection builded high in vain	J
Is drawn thus in dim funeral	O
Past us again	J
The which where shadowed most with gloom	Q
Uncertain thought is fain to map with spells of doom	Q
	-
Let me this night the past forget	R
For though its dying voices be	E
At times like tones from Eden yet	R
The years have brought such change for me	E
That when but now my thoughts were given	J
To all I d suffered loved and lost	S
Turning my eyes again to heaven	J
Tear quenched almost	T
I started with impatience strange	U
To find thee even thee smiling untouched by change	U
	-
O vain display of secred pride	V
My human heart what irks thee so	W
What in the scale of being tried	V
Should weigh thy happiness or woe	W
Pale millions so by fortune curst	V
Have loved for sorrow in the light	V
Of this yet youthful morn since first	V
She claimed the night	V
And thus mature even from her birth	H
With pale beam chased the glooms that swathed the infant earth	H
	-
And be it humbling too to know	W
That when this pile of haughty clay	X
For ages shall have ceased to glow	W
Shrunk to a line of ashes grey	X
Which as the invasive ploughshare drills	Y
The unremembered burial sward	V
The wild winds o er a hundred hills	Y
May whirl abroad	V
That in the midnight heavens thou	Z
Shalt hang thy unfaded lamp and smile serene as now	Z
	-
Nay more than this could even those	A2
The Edenites who sorrowed here	B2
Ere Noah s tilted ark arose	A2
Or Nimrod chased the bounding deer	C2
Wherever sepulchred could they	X
The rigid bonds of death and doom	Q
Now for a moment shake away	X
From out their tomb	Q
They watchful face they still might see	E
Just as they dying left it gazing solemnly	E
	-
I sadden Ah Why bringest thou	Z
Yet later memories to my mind	V
I would but gaze upon thee now	Z
A wiser counsel thence to find	V
Shall I not even henceforth aim	D2
To shun in act in thought control	E2
Whatever dims the heaven born flame	D2
The essential soul	E2
I feel within and which must be	E
A living light when thine is quenched eternally	E
