A sound as if from bells of silver	A
Or elfin cymbals smitten clear	B
Through the frost pictured panes I hear	C
	-
A brightness which outshines the morning	D
A splendor brooking no delay	E
Beckons and tempts my feet away	E
	-
I leave the trodden village highway	E
For virgin snow paths glimmering through	F
A jewelled elm tree avenue	F
	-
Where keen against the walls of sapphire	A
The gleaming tree bolls ice embossed	G
Hold up their chandeliers of frost	G
	-
I tread in Orient halls enchanted	H
I dream the Saga's dream of caves	I
Gem lit beneath the North Sea waves	I
	-
I walk the land of Eldorado	J
I touch its mimic garden bowers	K
Its silver leaves and diamond flowers	K
	-
The flora of the mystic mine world	L
Around me lifts on crystal stems	M
The petals of its clustered gems	M
	-
What miracle of weird transforming	D
In this wild work of frost and light	N
This glimpse of glory infinite	O
	-
This foregleam of the Holy City	P
Like that to him of Patmos given	Q
The white bride coming down from heaven	Q
	-
How flash the ranked and mail clad alders	M
Through what sharp glancing spears of reeds	M
The brook its muffled water leads	M
	-
Yon maple like the bush of Horeb	R
Burns unconsumed a white cold fire	A
Rays out from every grassy spire	S
	-
Each slender rush and spike of mullein	Q
Low laurel shrub and drooping fern	Q
Transfigured blaze where'er I turn	Q
	-
How yonder Ethiopian hemlock	T
Crowned with his glistening circlet stands	M
What jewels light his swarthy hands	M
	-
Here where the forest opens southward	U
Between its hospitable pines	M
As through a door the warm sun shines	M
	-
The jewels loosen on the branches	M
And lightly as the soft winds blow	J
Fall tinkling on the ice below	J
	-
And through the clashing of their cymbals	M
I hear the old familiar fall	V
Of water down the rocky wall	V
	-
Where from its wintry prison breaking	D
In dark and silence hidden long	W
The brook repeats its summer song	W
	-
One instant flashing in the sunshine	Q
Keen as a sabre from its sheath	X
Then lost again the ice beneath	X
	-
I hear the rabbit lightly leaping	D
The foolish screaming of the jay	E
The chopper's axe stroke far away	E
	-
The clamor of some neighboring barn yard	Y
The lazy cock's belated crow	J
Or cattle tramp in crispy snow	J
	-
And as in some enchanted forest	Z
The lost knight hears his comrades sing	D
And near at hand their bridles ring	D
	-
So welcome I these sounds and voices	M
These airs from far off summer blown	Q
This life that leaves me not alone	Q
	-
For the white glory overawes me	P
The crystal terror of the seer	C
Of Chebar's vision blinds me here	C
	-
Rebuke me not O sapphire heaven	Q
Thou stainless earth lay not on me	P
Thy keen reproach of purity	P
	-
If in this August presence chamber	A
I sigh for summer's leaf green gloom	A2
And warm airs thick with odorous bloom	A2
	-
Let the strange frost work sink and crumble	B2
And let the loosened tree boughs swing	D
Till all their bells of silver ring	D
	-
Shine warmly down thou sun of noontime	C2
On this chill pageant melt and move	D2
The winter's frozen heart with love	E2
	-
And soft and low thou wind south blowing	D
Breathe through a veil of tenderest haze	M
Thy prophecy of summer days	M
	-
Come with thy green relief of promise	M
And to this dead cold splendor bring	D
The living jewels of the spring	D
