High on a mountain of enamell'd head	A
Such as the drowsy shepherd on his bed	A
Of giant pasturage lying at his ease	B
Raising his heavy eyelid starts and sees	B
With many a mutter'd hope to be forgiven	C
What time the moon is quadrated in Heaven	C
Of rosy head that towering far away	D
Into the sunlit ether caught the ray	D
Of sunken suns at eve at noon of night	E
While the moon danc'd with the fair stranger light	E
Uprear'd upon such height arose a pile	F
Of gorgeous columns on th' unburthen'd air	G
Flashing from Parian marble that twin smile	F
Far down upon the wave that sparkled there	G
And nursled the young mountain in its lair	G
Of molten stars their pavement such as fall	H
Thro' the ebon air besilvering the pall	I
Of their own dissolution while they die	J
Adorning then the dwellings of the sky	J
A dome by linked light from Heaven let down	K
Sat gently on these columns as a crown	K
A window of one circular diamond there	G
Look'd out above into the purple air	G
And rays from God shot down that meteor chain	L
And hallow'd all the beauty twice again	M
Save when between th' empyrean and that ring	N
Some eager spirit Flapp'd his dusky wing	N
But on the pillars Seraph eyes have seen	O
The dimness of this world that greyish green	O
That Nature loves the best Beauty's grave	P
Lurk'd in each cornice round each architrave	P
And every sculptur'd cherub thereabout	J
That from his marble dwelling peered out	J
Seem'd earthly in the shadow of his niche	Q
Achaian statues in a world so rich	Q
Friezes from Tadmor and Persepolis	R
From Balbec and the stilly clear abyss	S
Of beautiful Gomorrah O the wave	P
Is now upon thee but too late to save	P
	-
Sound loves to revel in a summer night	J
Witness the murmur of the grey twilight	J
That stole upon the ear in Eyraco	N
Of many a wild star gazer long ago	N
That stealeth ever on the ear of him	T
Who musing gazeth on the distance dim	T
And sees the darkness coming as a cloud	J
Is not its form its voice most palpable and loud	J
	-
But what is this it cometh and it brings	U
A music with it 'tis the rush of wings	U
A pause and then a sweeping falling strain	L
And Nesace is in her halls again	M
From the wild energy of wanton haste	J
Her cheeks were flushing and her lips aPart	J
And zone that clung around her gentle waist	J
Had burst beneath the heaving of her heart	J
Within the centre of that hall to breathe	V
She paused and panted Zanthe all beneath	W
The fairy light that kiss'd her golden hair	G
And long'd to rest yet could but sparkle there	G
	-
Young flowers were whispering in melody	J
To happy flowers that night and tree to tree	J
Fountains were gushing music as they fell	X
In many a star lit grove or moon lit dell	X
Yet silence came upon material things	U
Fair flowers bright waterfalls and angel wings	U
And sound alone that from the spirit sprang	N
Bore burthen to the charm the maiden sang	N
	-
'Neath the blue bell or streamer	Y
Or tufted wild spray	D
That keeps from the dreamer	Y
The moonbeam away	D
Bright beings that ponder	Y
With half closing eyes	Z
On the stars which your wonder	Y
Hath drawn from the skies	Z
Till they glance thro' the shade and	J
Come down to your brow	A2
Like eyes of the maiden	C
Who calls on you now	A2
Arise from your dreaming	N
In violet bowers	B2
To duty beseeming	N
These star litten hours	B2
And shake from your tresses	C2
Encumber'd with dew	J
The breath of those kisses	D2
That cumber them too	J
O how without you Love	E2
Could angels be blest	J
Those kisses of true Love	E2
That lull'd ye to rest	J
Up shake from your wing	N
Each hindering thing	N
The dew of the night	J
It would weigh down your flight	J
And true love caresses	C2
O leave them aPart	J
They are light on the tresses	C2
But lead on the heart	J
	-
Ligeia Ligeia	F2
My beautiful one	C
Whose harshest idea	J
Will to melody run	C
O is it thy will	G2
On the breezes to toss	H2
Or capriciously still	G2
Like the lone Albatros	H2
Incumbent on night	J
As she on the air	G
To keep watch with delight	J
On the harmony there	G
	-
Ligeia wherever	Y
Thy image may be	J
No magic shall sever	Y
Thy music from thee	J
Thou hast bound many eyes	H2
In a dreamy sleep	I2
But the strains still arise	H2
Which thy vigilance keep	I2
The sound of the rain	L
Which leaps down to the flower	Y
And dances again	M
In the rhythm of the shower	Y
The murmur that springs	H2
From the growing of grass	H2
Are the music of things	H2
But are modell'd alas	H2
Away then my dearest	J
Oh hie thee away	D
To the springs that lie clearest	J
Beneath the moon ray	D
To lone lake that smiles	H2
In its dream of deep rest	J
At the many star isles	H2
That enjewel its breast	J
Where wild flowers creeping	N
Have mingled their shade	J
On its margin is sleeping	N
Full many a maid	J
Some have left the cool glade and	J
Have slept with the bee	J
Arouse them my maiden	C
On moorland and lea	J
Go breathe on their slumber	Y
All softly in ear	J2
Thy musical number	Y
They slumbered to hear	J2
For what can awaken	C
An angel so soon	K2
Whose sleep hath been taken	C
Beneath the cold moon	K2
As the spell which no slumber	Y
Of witchery may test	J
The rhythmical number	Y
Which lull'd him to rest	J
	-
Spirits in wing and angels to the view	J
A thousand seraphs burst th' Empyrean thro'	Y
Young dreams still hovering on their drowsy flight	J
Seraphs in all but Knowledge the keen light	J
That fell refracted thro' thy bounds afar	Y
O Death from eye of God upon that star	Y
Sweet was that error sweeter still that death	L2
Sweet was that error even with us the breath	L2
Of Science dims the mirror of our joy	F2
To them 'twere the Simoom and would destroy	F2
For what to them availeth it to know	N
That Truth is Falsehood or that Bliss is Woe	N
Sweet was their death with them to die was rife	M2
With the last ecstasy of satiate life	M2
Beyond that death no immortality	J
But sleep that pondereth and is not to be'	J
And there oh may my weary spirit dwell	X
APart from Heaven's Eternity and yet how far from Hell	X
What guilty spirit in what shrubbery dim	T
Heard not the stirring summons of that hymn	T
But two they fell for Heaven no grace imParts	H2
To those who hear not for their beating hearts	H2
A maiden angel and her seraph lover	Y
O where and ye may seek the wide skies over	Y
Was Love the blind near sober Duty known	N2
Unguided Love hath fallen 'mid tears of perfect moan	N2
He was a goodly spirit he who fell	X
A wanderer by moss y mantled well	X
A gazer on the lights that shine above	E2
A dreamer in the moonbeam by his love	E2
What wonder for each star is eye like there	Y
And looks so sweetly down on Beauty's hair	Y
And they and ev'ry mossy spring were holy	J
To his love haunted heart and melancholy	J
The night had found to him a night of woe	N
Upon a mountain crag young Angelo	N
Beetling it bends athwart the solemn sky	N
And scowls on starry worlds that down beneath it lie	N
Here sat he with his love his dark eye bent	J
With eagle gaze along the firmament	J
Now turn'd it upon her but ever then	M
It trembled to the orb of Earth again	M
	-
Ianthe dearest see how dim that ray	Y
How lovely 'tis to look so far away	Y
She seem'd not thus upon that autumn eve	O2
I left her gorgeous halls nor mourn'd to leave	O2
That eve that eve I should remember well	X
The sun ray dropp'd in Lemnos with a spell	X
On th' arabesque carving of a gilded hall	H
Wherein I sate and on the draperied wall	H
And on my eyelids O the heavy light	J
How drowsily it weigh'd them into night	J
On flowers before and mist and love they ran	P2
With Persian Saadi in his Gulistan	P2
But O that light I slumber'd Death the while	F
Stole o'er my senses in that lovely isle	F
So softly that no single silken hair	Y
Awoke that slept or knew that he was there	Y
	-
The last spot of Earth's orb I trod upon	P2
Was a proud temple call'd the Parthenon	P2
More beauty clung around her column'd wall	H
Than ev'n thy glowing bosom beats withal	H
And when old Time my wing did disenthral	H
Thence sprang I as the eagle from his tower	Y
And years I left behind me in an hour	Y
What time upon her airy bounds I hung	N
One half the garden of her globe was flung	N
Unrolling as a chart unto my view	J
Tenantless cities of the desert too	J
Ianthe beauty crowded on me then	P2
And half I wish'd to be again of men	P2
	-
My Angelo and why of them to be	J
A brighter dwelling place is here for thee	J
And greener fields than in yon world above	E2
And woman's loveliness and passionate love	E2
	-
But list Ianthe when the air so soft	J
Fail'd as my pennon'd spirit leapt aloft	J
Perhaps my brain grew dizzy but the world	J
I left so late was into chaos hurl'd	J
Sprang from her station on the winds aPart	J
And roll'd a flame the fiery Heaven athwart	J
Methought my sweet one then I ceased to soar	Y
And fell not swiftly as I rose before	Y
But with a downward tremulous motion thro'	Y
Light brazen rays this golden star unto	J
Nor long the measure of my falling hours	H2
For nearest of all stars was thine to ours	H2
Dread star that came amid a night of mirth	Q2
A red Daedalion on the timid Earth	Q2
	-
We came and to thy Earth but not to us	H2
Be given our lady's bidding to discuss	H2
We came my love around above below	H
Gay fire fly of the night we come and go	H
Nor ask a reason save the angel nod	J
She grants to us as granted by her God	J
But Angelo than thine grey Time unfurl'd	J
Never his fairy wing O'er fairier world	J
Dim was its little disk and angel eyes	H2
Alone could see the phantom in the skies	H2
When first Al Aaraaf knew her course to be	J
Headlong thitherward o'er the starry sea	J
But when its glory swell'd upon the sky	N
As glowing Beauty's bust beneath man's eye	N
We paused before the heritage of men	P2
And thy star trembled as doth Beauty then	P2
	-
Thus in discourse the lovers whiled away	Y
The night that waned and waned and brought no day	Y
They fell for Heaven to them no hope imParts	H2
Who hear not for the beating of their hearts	H2
