How gracefully O man with thy palm bough	A
Upon the waning century standest thou	A
In proud and noble manhood's prime	B
With unlocked senses with a spirit freed	C
Of firmness mild though silent rich in deed	C
The ripest son of Time	B
Through meekness great through precepts strong	D
Through treasures rich that time had long	D
Hid in thy bosom and through reason free	E
Master of Nature who thy fetters loves	F
And who thy strength in thousand conflicts proves	G
And from the desert soared in pride with thee	E
	-
Flushed with the glow of victory	E
Never forget to prize the hand	H
That found the weeping orphan child	I
Deserted on life's barren strand	H
And left a prey to hazard wild	I
That ere thy spirit honor saw the day	J
Thy youthful heart watched over silently	E
And from thy tender bosom turned away	J
Each thought that might have stained its purity	E
That kind one ne'er forget who as in sport	K
Thy youth to noble aspirations trained	L
And who to thee in easy riddles taught	M
The secret how each virtue might be gained	L
Who to receive him back more perfect still	N
E'en into strangers' arms her favorite gave	O
Oh may'st thou never with degenerate will	N
Humble thyself to be her abject slave	O
In industry the bee the palm may bear	P
In skill the worm a lesson may impart	Q
With spirits blest thy knowledge thou dost share	P
But thou O man alone hast art	Q
	-
Only through beauty's morning gate	R
Didst thou the land of knowledge find	S
To merit a more glorious fate	R
In graces trains itself the mind	S
What thrilled thee through with trembling blessed	T
When erst the Muses swept the chord	U
That power created in thy breast	T
Which to the mighty spirit soared	U
	-
When first was seen by doting reason's ken	V
When many a thousand years had passed away	J
A symbol of the fair and great e'en then	V
Before the childlike mind uncovered lay	J
Its blessed form bade us honor virtue's cause	W
The honest sense 'gainst vice put forth its powers	X
Before a Solon had devised the laws	Y
That slowly bring to light their languid flowers	X
Before Eternity's vast scheme	Z
Was to the thinker's mind revealed	A2
Was't not foreshadowed in his dream	Z
Whose eyes explored yon starry field	A2
	-
Urania the majestic dreaded one	B2
Who wears a glory of Orions twined	S
Around her brow and who is seen by none	B2
Save purest spirits when in splendor shrined	S
She soars above the stars in pride	S
Ascending to her sunny throne	C2
Her fiery chaplet lays aside	S
And now as beauty stands alone	C2
While with the Graces' girdle round her cast	S
She seems a child by children understood	S
For we shall recognize as truth at last	S
What here as beauty only we have viewed	S
	-
When the Creator banished from his sight	S
Frail man to dark mortality's abode	S
And granted him a late return to light	S
Only by treading reason's arduous road	S
When each immortal turned his face away	J
She the compassionate alone	C2
Took up her dwelling in that house of clay	J
With the deserted banished one	B2
With drooping wing she hovers here	D2
Around her darling near the senses' land	S
And on his prison walls so drear	D2
Elysium paints with fond deceptive hand	S
	-
While soft humanity still lay at rest	S
Within her tender arms extended	S
No flame was stirred by bigots' murderous zest	S
No guiltless blood on high ascended	S
The heart that she in gentle fetters binds	E2
Views duty's slavish escort scornfully	J
Her path of light though fairer far it winds	F2
Sinks in the sun track of morality	S
Those who in her chaste service still remain	G2
No grovelling thought can tempt no fate affright	S
The spiritual life so free from stain	G2
Freedom's sweet birthright they receive again	V
Under the mystic sway of holy might	S
	-
The purest among millions happy they	J
Whom to her service she has sanctified	S
Whose mouths the mighty one's commands convey	J
Within whose breasts she deigneth to abide	S
Whom she ordained to feed her holy fire	D2
Upon her altar's ever flaming pyre	D2
Whose eyes alone her unveiled graces meet	S
And whom she gathers round in union sweet	S
In the much honored place be glad	S
Where noble order bade ye climb	B
For in the spirit world sublime	B
Man's loftiest rank ye've ever had	S
	-
Ere to the world proportion ye revealed	S
That every being joyfully obeys	H2
A boundless structure in night's veil concealed	S
Illumed by naught but faint and languid rays	H2
A band of phantoms struggling ceaselessly	S
Holding his mind in slavish fetters bound	S
Unsociable and rude as be	S
Assailing him on every side around	S
Thus seemed to man creation in that day	J
United to surrounding forms alone	C2
By the blind chains the passions had put on	I2
Whilst Nature's beauteous spirit fled away	J
Unfelt untasted and unknown	C2
	-
And as it hovered o'er with parting ray	J
Ye seized the shades so neighborly	S
With silent hand with feeling mind	S
And taught how they might be combined	S
In one firm bond of harmony	S
The gaze light soaring felt uplifted then	V
When first the cedar's slender trunk it viewed	S
And pleasingly the ocean's crystal flood	S
Reflected back the dancing form again	V
Could ye mistake the look with beauty fraught	S
That Nature gave to help ye on your way	J
The image floating on the billows taught	S
The art the fleeting shadow to portray	J
	-
From her own being torn apart	S
Her phantom beauteous as a dream	Z
She plunged into the silvery stream	Z
Surrendering to her spoiler's art	S
Creative power soon in your breast unfolded	S
Too noble far not idly to conceive	J2
The shadow's form in sand in clay ye moulded	S
And made it in the sketch its being leave	J2
The longing thirst for action then awoke	K2
And from your breast the first creation broke	K2
	-
By contemplation captive made	S
Ensnared by your discerning eye	L2
The friendly phantom's soon betrayed	S
The talisman that roused your ecstasy	S
The laws of wonder working might	S
The stores by beauty brought to light	S
Inventive reason in soft union planned	S
To blend together 'neath your forming hand	S
The obelisk the pyramid ascended	S
The Hermes stood the column sprang on high	L2
The reed poured forth the woodland melody	S
Immortal song on victor's deeds attended	S
	-
The fairest flowers that decked the earth	M2
Into a nosegay with wise choice combined	S
Thus the first art from Nature had its birth	M2
Into a garland then were nosegays twined	S
And from the works that mortal hands had made	S
A second nobler art was now displayed	S
The child of beauty self sufficient now	A
That issued from your hands to perfect day	S
Loses the chaplet that adorned its brow	A
Soon as reality asserts its sway	S
The column yielding to proportion's chains	N2
Must with its sisters join in friendly link	O2
The hero in the hero band must sink	O2
The Muses' harp peals forth its tuneful strains	N2
	-
The wondering savages soon came	P2
To view the new creation's plan	Q2
Behold the joyous crowds exclaim	P2
Behold all this is done by man	Q2
With jocund and more social aim	P2
The minstrel's lyre their awe awoke	K2
Telling of Titans and of giant's frays	N2
And lion slayers turning as he spoke	K2
Even into heroes those who heard his lays	N2
For the first time the soul feels joy	R2
By raptures blessed that calmer are	D2
That only greet it from afar	D2
That passions wild can ne'er destroy	R2
And that when tasted do not cloy	R2
	-
And now the spirit free and fair	D2
Awoke from out its sensual sleep	S2
By you unchained the slave of care	D2
Into the arms of joy could leap	S2
Each brutish barrier soon was set at naught	S
Humanity first graced the cloudless brow	A
And the majestic noble stranger thought	S
From out the wondering brain sprang boldly now	A
Man in his glory stood upright	S
And showed the stars his kingly face	N2
His speaking glance the sun's bright light	S
Blessed in the realms sublime of space	N2
Upon the cheek now bloomed the smile	J
The voice's soulful harmony	S
Expanded into song the while	J
And feeling swam in the moi	T2
