And their thin rippled mist | B |
That stream'd o'er the lawn | A |
To the drowsy eyed west | C |
Cold and grey | D |
They slept in the way | D |
And shrank from the ray | D |
Of the chariot East | E |
But now they are gone | A |
And the bounding light | F |
Leaps thro' the bars | G |
Of doubtful dawn | A |
Blinding the stars | G |
And blessing the sight | F |
Shedding delight | F |
On all below | H |
Glimmering fields | I |
And wakening wealds | I |
And rising lark | J |
And meadows dark | J |
And idle rills | I |
And labouring mills | I |
And far distant hills | I |
Of the fawn and the doe | H |
The sun is cheered | K |
And his path is cleared | K |
As he steps to the air | L |
From his emerald cave | M |
His heel in the wave | M |
Most bright and bare | L |
In the tide of the sky | N |
His radiant hair | L |
From his temples fair | L |
Blown back on high | N |
As forward he bends | I |
And upward ascends | I |
Timely and true | O |
To the breast of the blue | O |
His warm red lips | I |
Kissing the dew | O |
Which sweetened drips | I |
On his flower cupholders | I |
Every hue | O |
From his gleaming shoulders | I |
Shining anew | O |
With colour sky born | P |
As it washes and dips | I |
In the pride of the morn | P |
Robes of azure | Q |
Fringed with amber | Q |
Fold upon fold | R |
Of purple and gold | R |
Vine leaf bloom | S |
And the grape's ripe gloom | S |
When season deep | T |
In noontide leisure | Q |
With clustering heap | T |
The tendrils clamber | Q |
Full in the face | I |
Of his hot embrace | I |
Fill'd with the gleams | I |
Of his firmest beams | I |
Autumn flushes | I |
Roseate blushes | I |
Vermeil tinges | I |
Violet fringes | I |
Every hue | O |
Of his flower cupholders | I |
O'er the clear ether | Q |
Mingled together | Q |
Shining anew | O |
From his gleaming shoulders | I |
Circling about | U |
In a coronal rout | U |
And floating behind | V |
The way of the wind | V |
As forward he bends | I |
And upward ascends | I |
Timely and true | O |
To the breast of the blue | O |
His bright neck curved | W |
His clear limbs nerved | W |
Diamond keen | X |
On his front serene | X |
While each white arm strains | I |
To the racing reins | I |
As plunging eyes flashing | Y |
Dripping and dashing | Y |
His steeds triple grown | Z |
Rear up to his throne | Z |
Ruffling the rest | W |
Of the sea's blue breast | W |
From his flooding flaming crimson crest | W |
