A
-
I think I was enchantedB
When first a sombre GirlC
I read that Foreign LadyD
The Dark felt beautifulE
-
And whether it was noon at nightF
Or only Heaven at NoonG
For very Lunacy of LightF
I had not power to tellH
-
The Bees became as ButterfliesI
The Butterflies as SwansJ
Approached and spurned the narrow GrassK
And just the meanest TunesL
-
That Nature murmured to herselfM
To keep herself in CheerN
I took for Giants practisingO
Titanic OperaP
-
The Days to Mighty Metres steptF
The Homeliest adornedF
As if unto a JubileeD
'Twere suddenly confirmedF
-
I could not have defined the changeQ
Conversion of the MindF
Like Sanctifying in the SoulR
Is witnessed not explainedF
-
'Twas a Divine InsanityD
The Danger to be SaneS
Should I again experienceT
'Tis Antidote to turnU
-
To Tomes of solid WitchcraftF
Magicians be asleepV
But Magic hath an ElementF
Like Deity to keepV
