Whose song is done | B |
Rash heart that drew too near | C |
His dazzling lord the Sun | B |
Forgets that life was dear | C |
So shriveled now and sere | C |
The goblin planet Mercury | A |
But Venus thou mysterious Enveil d one | B |
Fairest of lights that fleet | D |
Around the radiant Sun | B |
Do not thy pulses beat | D |
To music blithe and sweet | D |
O Venus veiled mysterious | E |
And Earth our shadow haunted Earth | F |
Hast thou too won | B |
The graces of a star | G |
From the glory of the Sun | B |
Do poets dream afar | G |
That here all lusters are | G |
Upon our blind bewildered Earth | F |
We dream that mighty forms on Mars | H |
With wisdom spun | B |
From subtler brain than man's | I |
Are hoarding snow and sun | B |
Wringing a few more spans | I |
Of life fierce artisans | J |
From their deep grooved worn planet Mars | H |

And for what rare delight | M |
Or woes to shun | B |
Of races increate | M |

Ethereal jewel of delight | M |
Far from his fellows Uranus | E |
Doth lonely run | B |
In his appointed ways | N |
Around the sovereign Sun | B |
Wide journeys that amaze | N |
Our weak and toiling gaze | N |
Searching the path of Uranus | E |
But on the awful verge | O |
Of voids that stun | B |
The spirit Neptune keeps | P |
The frontier of the Sun | B |
Over the deeps on deeps | P |
He glows a torch that sweeps | P |
The circle of that shuddering verge | O |
On each bright planet waits | P |
Oblivion | B |
Who casts beneath her feet | M |
Ashes of star and sun | B |
But when all ruby heat | M |
Is frost a Heart shall beat | M |
Where God within the darkness waits | P |
