The clouds are withdrawnA
And their thin rippled mistB
That stream'd o'er the lawnA
To the drowsy eyed westC
Cold and greyD
They slept in the wayD
And shrank from the rayD
Of the chariot EastE
But now they are goneA
And the bounding lightF
Leaps thro' the barsG
Of doubtful dawnA
Blinding the starsG
And blessing the sightF
Shedding delightF
On all belowH
Glimmering fieldsI
And wakening wealdsI
And rising larkJ
And meadows darkJ
And idle rillsI
And labouring millsI
And far distant hillsI
Of the fawn and the doeH
The sun is cheeredK
And his path is clearedK
As he steps to the airL
From his emerald caveM
His heel in the waveM
Most bright and bareL
In the tide of the skyN
His radiant hairL
From his temples fairL
Blown back on highN
As forward he bendsI
And upward ascendsI
Timely and trueO
To the breast of the blueO
His warm red lipsI
Kissing the dewO
Which sweetened dripsI
On his flower cupholdersI
Every hueO
From his gleaming shouldersI
Shining anewO
With colour sky bornP
As it washes and dipsI
In the pride of the mornP
Robes of azureQ
Fringed with amberQ
Fold upon foldR
Of purple and goldR
Vine leaf bloomS
And the grape's ripe gloomS
When season deepT
In noontide leisureQ
With clustering heapT
The tendrils clamberQ
Full in the faceI
Of his hot embraceI
Fill'd with the gleamsI
Of his firmest beamsI
Autumn flushesI
Roseate blushesI
Vermeil tingesI
Violet fringesI
Every hueO
Of his flower cupholdersI
O'er the clear etherQ
Mingled togetherQ
Shining anewO
From his gleaming shouldersI
Circling aboutU
In a coronal routU
And floating behindV
The way of the windV
As forward he bendsI
And upward ascendsI
Timely and trueO
To the breast of the blueO
His bright neck curvedW
His clear limbs nervedW
Diamond keenX
On his front sereneX
While each white arm strainsI
To the racing reinsI
As plunging eyes flashingY
Dripping and dashingY
His steeds triple grownZ
Rear up to his throneZ
Ruffling the restW
Of the sea's blue breastW
From his flooding flaming crimson crestW
