Rhyme Scheme: AABC DEDEFEGG HGHIHIJJ KLK KMM MAMAMANNHow often we forget all time when lone | A |
Admiring Nature's universal throne | A |
Her woods her wilds her mountains the intense | B |
Reply of HERS to OUR intelligence BYRON The Island | C |
- | |
I | - |
- | |
In youth have I known one with whom the Earth | D |
In secret communing held as he with it | E |
In daylight and in beauty from his birth | D |
Whose fervid flickering torch of life was lit | E |
From the sun and stars whence he had drawn forth | F |
A passionate light such for his spirit was fit | E |
And yet that spirit knew not in the hour | G |
Of its own fervor what had o'er it power | G |

II | - |
- | |
Perhaps it may be that my mind is wrought | H |
To a fever by the moonbeam that hangs o'er | G |
But I will half believe that wild light fraught | H |
With more of sovereignty than ancient lore | I |
Hath ever told or is it of a thought | H |
The unembodied essence and no more | I |
That with a quickening spell doth o'er us pass | J |
As dew of the night time o'er the summer grass | J |
- | |
III | - |
- | |
Doth o'er us pass when as th' expanding eye | - |
To the loved object so the tear to the lid | K |
Will start which lately slept in apathy | L |
And yet it need not be that object hid | K |
From us in life but common which doth lie | - |
Each hour before us but then only bid | K |
With a strange sound as of a harp string broken | M |
To awake us 'Tis a symbol and a token | M |
- | |
IV | - |
- | |
Of what in other worlds shall be and given | M |
In beauty by our God to those alone | A |
Who otherwise would fall from life and Heaven | M |
Drawn by their heart's passion and that tone | A |
That high tone of the spirit which hath striven | M |
Tho' not with Faith with godliness whose throne | A |
With desperate energy 't hath beaten down | N |
Wearing its own deep feeling as a crown | N |
