O nothing earthly save the ray	A
Thrown back from flowers of Beauty's eye	B
As in those gardens where the day	A
Springs from the gems of Circassy	C
O nothing earthly save the thrill	D
Of melody in woodland rill	D
Or music of the passion hearted	E
Joy's voice so peacefully departed	E
That like the murmur in the shell	F
Its echo dwelleth and will dwell	F
O nothing of the dross of ours	C
Yet all the beauty all the flowers	C
That list our Love and deck our bowers	C
Adorn yon world afar afar	G
The wandering star	G
	-
'Twas a sweet time for Nesace for there	H
Her world lay lolling on the golden air	H
Near four bright suns a temporary rest	I
An oasis in desert of the blest	I
Away away 'mid seas of rays that roll	J
Empyrean splendor o'er th' unchained soul	J
The soul that scarce the billows are so dense	C
Can struggle to its destin'd eminence	C
To distant spheres from time to time she rode	K
And late to ours the favour'd one of God	L
But now the ruler of an anchor'd realm	M
She throws aside the sceptre leaves the helm	M
And amid incense and high spiritual hymns	C
Laves in quadruple light her angel limbs	C
	-
Now happiest loveliest in yon lovely Earth	N
Whence sprang the Idea of Beauty into birth	N
Falling in wreaths thro' many a startled star	G
Like woman's hair 'mid pearls until afar	G
It lit on hills Achaian and there dwelt	O
She look'd into Infinity and knelt	O
Rich clouds for canopies about her curled	P
Fit emblems of the model of her world	P
Seen but in beauty not impeding sight	Q
Of other beauty glittering thro' the light	Q
A wreath that twined each starry form around	R
And all the opal'd air in color bound	R
	-
All hurriedly she knelt upon a bed	S
Of flowers of lilies such as rear'd the head	S
On the fair Capo Deucato and sprang	T
So eagerly around about to hang	T
Upon the flying footsteps of deep pride	U
Of her who lov'd a mortal and so died	U
The Sephalica budding with young bees	C
Uprear'd its purple stem around her knees	C
And gemmy flower of Trebizond misnam'd	U
Inmate of highest stars where erst it sham'd	U
All other loveliness its honied dew	U
The fabled nectar that the heathen knew	U
Deliriously sweet was dropp'd from Heaven	V
And fell on gardens of the unforgiven	V
In Trebizond and on a sunny flower	W
So like its own above that to this hour	W
It still remaineth torturing the bee	X
With madness and unwonted reverie	X
In Heaven and all its environs the leaf	Y
And blossom of the fairy plant in grief	Y
Disconsolate linger grief that hangs her head	U
Repenting follies that full long have fled	U
Heaving her white breast to the balmy air	H
Like guilty beauty chasten'd and more fair	H
Nyctanthes too as sacred as the light	U
She fears to perfume perfuming the night	U
And Clytia pondering between many a sun	V
While pettish tears adown her petals run	V
And that aspiring flower that sprang on Earth	N
And died ere scarce exalted into birth	N
Bursting its odorous heart in spirit to wing	Z
Its way to Heaven from garden of a king	Z
And Valisnerian lotus thither flown	A2
From struggling with the waters of the Rhone	A2
And thy most lovely purple perfume Zante	U
Isola d'oro Fior di Levante	U
And the Nelumbo bud that floats for ever	W
With Indian Cupid down the holy river	W
Fair flowers and fairy to whose care is given	V
To bear the Goddess' song in odors up to Heaven	V
	-
Spirit that dwellest where	H
In the deep sky	B
The terrible and fair	H
In beauty vie	B
Beyond the line of blue	U
The boundary of the star	G
Which turneth at the view	U
Of thy barrier and thy bar	G
Of the barrier overgone	V
By the comets who were cast	U
From their pride and from their throne	V
To be drudges till the last	U
To be carriers of fire	W
The red fire of their heart	U
With speed that may not tire	W
And with pain that shall not part	U
Who livest that we know	V
In Eternity we feel	B2
But the shadow of whose brow	C2
What spirit shall reveal	B2
Tho' the beings whom thy Nesace	C
Thy messenger hath known	V
Have dream'd for thy Infinity	U
A model of their own	V
Thy will is done O God	U
The star hath ridden high	B
Thro' many a tempest but she rode	U
Beneath thy burning eye	B
And here in thought to thee	U
In thought that can alone	V
Ascend thy empire and so be	U
A partner of thy throne	V
By winged Fantasy	U
My embassy is given	V
Till secrecy shall knowledge be	U
In the environs of Heaven	V
	-
She ceas'd and buried then her burning cheek	D2
Abash'd amid the lilies there to seek	D2
A shelter from the fervor of His eye	B
For the stars trembled at the Deity	U
She stirr'd not breath'd not for a voice was there	H
How solemnly pervading the calm air	H
A sound of silence on the startled ear	E2
Which dreamy poets name the music of the sphere	F2
Ours is a world of words Quiet we call	G2
Silence which is the merest word of all	G2
	-
All Nature speaks and ev'n ideal things	C
Flap shadowy sounds from the visionary wings	C
But ah not so when thus in realms on high	B
The eternal voice of God is passing by	B
And the red winds are withering in the sky	B
What tho' in worlds which sightless cycles run	V
Link'd to a little system and one sun	V
Where all my love is folly and the crowd	U
Still think my terrors but the thunder cloud	U
The storm the earthquake and the ocean wrath	H2
Ah will they cross me in my angrier path	H2
What tho' in worlds which own a single sun	V
The sands of time grow dimmer as they run	V
Yet thine is my resplendency so given	V
To bear my secrets thro' the upper Heaven	V
Leave tenantless thy crystal home and fly	B
With all thy train athwart the moony sky	B
Apart like fire flies in Sicilian night	U
And wing to other worlds another light	U
Divulge the secrets of thy embassy	U
To the proud orbs that twinkle and so be	U
To ev'ry heart a barrier and a ban	V
Lest the stars totter in the guilt of man	V
	-
Up rose the maiden in the yellow night	U
The single mooned eve on earth we plight	U
Our faith to one love and one moon adore	I2
The birth place of young Beauty had no more	I2
As sprang that yellow star from downy hours	C
Up rose the maiden from her shrine of flowers	C
And bent o'er sheeny mountain and dim plain	V
Her way but left not yet her Therasaean reign	V
