One morn before me were three figures seen	A
I With bowed necks and joined hands side faced	B
And one behind the other stepp'd serene	A
In placid sandals and in white robes graced	B
They pass'd like figures on a marble urn	C
When shifted round to see the other side	D
They came again as when the urn once more	E
Is shifted round the first seen shades return	C
And they were strange to me as may betide	D
With vases to one deep in Phidian lore	E
	-
How is it Shadows that I knew ye not	F
How came ye muffled in so hush a masque	G
Was it a silent deep disguised plot	F
To steal away and leave without a task	G
My idle days Ripe was the drowsy hour	H
The blissful cloud of summer indolence	I
Benumb'd my eyes my pulse grew less and less	I
Pain had no sting and pleasure's wreath no flower	H
O why did ye not melt and leave my sense	I
Unhaunted quite of all but nothingness	I
	-
A third time came they by alas wherefore	H
My sleep had been embroider'd with dim dreams	I
My soul had been a lawn besprinkled o'er	H
With flowers and stirring shades and baffled beams	I
The morn was clouded but no shower fell	J
Tho' in her lids hung the sweet tears of May	K
The open casement press'd a new leav'd vine	L
Let in the budding warmth and throstle's lay	K
O Shadows 'twas a time to bid farewell	J
Upon your skirts had fallen no tears of mine	L
	-
A third time pass'd they by and passing turn'd	M
Each one the face a moment whiles to me	N
Then faded and to follow them I burn'd	M
And ached for wings because I knew the three	N
The first was a fair maid and Love her name	O
The second was Ambition pale of cheek	G
And ever watchful with fatigued eye	P
The last whom I love more the more of blame	O
Is heap'd upon her maiden most unmeek	G
I knew to be my demon Poesy	I
	-
They faded and forsooth I wanted wings	I
O folly What is Love and where is it	Q
And for that poor Ambition it springs	I
From a man's little heart's short fever fit	Q
For Poesy no she has not a joy	R
At least for me so sweet as drowsy noons	I
And evenings steep'd in honied indolence	I
O for an age so shelter'd from annoy	R
That I may never know how change the moons	I
Or hear the voice of busy common sense	I
	-
So ye three Ghosts adieu Ye cannot raise	I
My head cool bedded in the flowery grass	I
For I would not be dieted with praise	I
A pet lamb in a sentimental farce	I
Fade sofdy from my eyes and be once more	H
In masque like figures on the dreamy urn	C
Farewell I yet have visions for the night	S
And for the day faint visions there is store	H
Vanish ye Phantoms from my idle spright	S
Into the clouds and never more return	C
