So blind Orion groping for the morn	A
With eyes uplift whereon forever hung	B
Infinite burden and suspense of night	C
Had clomb the long and mountain ending vast	D
Led by the Cyclops Many a dim ravine	E
Where serried pines were silent ere the dawn	F
And many a slope or terrace of the snow	G
Pure as Pentelic marble for the tread	H
Of roseal footed light lay far behind	I
Still drowned in stagnant purples Toiling up	J
Even to the very threshold of the heavens	K
They heard the ascending eagles hail the sun	L
Round the forsaken throne of Phosphorus	M
Until the morning's levin colored ray	N
Lightened upon the Cyclops and he paused	O
And over him ethereal glory drave	P
To rouse the dreaming colors in the cloud	Q
To give the sea its immemorial green	E
And strike the towering cities into gold	R
Along the low horizon	L
	-
Then at last	D
On dark Orion groping for the suns	K
From out the sole the Appollonian source	S
Returning vision flowed and he had power	T
And privilege once more upon the light	C
And might receive its seven ministers	U
Even with gathering rays of stars remote	V
And take the tithe of beauty proffered still	W
By terrene shapes and images by forms	X
Of flowers and statues and of women dancing	Y
Of sapling laurels ancient olives gnarled	Z
The noontide shapes of headlands and of clouds	A2
The meres that curve in darkening amaranth	B2
Amid the sunset range and seas and rivers	U
Straight tided or with currents serpentine	C2
Dividing variously their protean shores	D2
