I think I was enchanted | B |
When first a sombre Girl | C |
I read that Foreign Lady | D |
The Dark felt beautiful | E |
- | |
And whether it was noon at night | F |
Or only Heaven at Noon | G |
For very Lunacy of Light | F |
I had not power to tell | H |
- | |
The Bees became as Butterflies | I |
The Butterflies as Swans | J |
Approached and spurned the narrow Grass | K |
And just the meanest Tunes | L |
- | |
That Nature murmured to herself | M |
To keep herself in Cheer | N |
I took for Giants practising | O |
Titanic Opera | P |
- | |
The Days to Mighty Metres stept | F |
The Homeliest adorned | F |
As if unto a Jubilee | D |
'Twere suddenly confirmed | F |
- | |
I could not have defined the change | Q |
Conversion of the Mind | F |
Like Sanctifying in the Soul | R |
Is witnessed not explained | F |
- | |
'Twas a Divine Insanity | D |
The Danger to be Sane | S |
Should I again experience | T |
'Tis Antidote to turn | U |
- | |
To Tomes of solid Witchcraft | F |
Magicians be asleep | V |
But Magic hath an Element | F |
Like Deity to keep | V |
