| 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 |

| 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 |

| - | |
| 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 |
