What ogive gates from gold of Ophir wrought	A
What walls of Pariah whiter than a rose	B
What towers of crystal for the eyes of thought	A
Hast builded on far Islands of Repose	B
Thy cloudy columns vast Corinthian	C
Or huge Ionic colonnade the heights	D
Of dreamland looming o'er the soul's deep seas	E
Built melodies of marble that no man	F
Has ever reached except in fancy's flights	D
Templing the presence of perpetual ease	E
	-
Oft where o'er plastic frieze and plinths of spar	G
In glimmering solitudes of pillared stone	H
The twilight blossoms with one violet star	G
With thee O Reverie I have stood alone	H
And there beheld from out the Mythic Age	I
The rosy breasts of Cytherea fair	J
Full cestused and suggestive of what loves	K
Immortal rise and heard the lyric rage	I
Of sun burnt Poesy whose throat breathes bare	J
O'er leopard skins fluting among his groves	L
	-
Oft where thy castled peaks and templed vales	M
Cloud like convulsive sunsets shores that dream	N
Myrrh fragrant over siren seas whose sails	M
Gleam white as lilies on a lilied stream	N
My soul has dreamed Or by thy sapphire sea	O
In thy arcaded gardens in the shade	P
Of breathing sculpture oft has walked with thought	A
And bent in shadowy attitude its knee	O
Before the shrine of Beauty that must fade	P
And leave no memory of the mind that wrought	A
	-
Who hath beheld thy caverns where in heaps	Q
The wines of Lethe and Love's witchery	J
In seal d Amphor a sibyl keeps	Q
World old for ever guarded secretly	O
No wine of Xeres or of Syracuse	R
No fine Falernian and no vile Sabine	S
The stolen fire of a demigod	A
Whose bubbled purple goddess feet did bruise	R
In crusted vats of vintage where the green	S
Flames with wild poppies on the Samian sod	A
	-
Oh for the deep enchantment of one draught	A
The reckless ecstasy of classic earth	T
With godlike eyes to laugh as gods have laughed	A
In eyes of mortal brown a mighty mirth	T
Of deity delirious with desire	J
To breathe the dropping roses of the shrines	U
The splashing wine libation and the blood	A
And all the young priest's dreaming To inspire	J
My eager soul with beauty 'til it shines	U
An utt'rance of life's loftier brotherhood	A
	-
So would I slumber in the old world shades	V
And Poesy should touch me as some bold	A
Wild bee a pulpy lily of the glades	V
Barbaric covered with the kernelled gold	A
And feel the glory of the Golden Age	I
Less godly than my purpose strong to dare	J
Death with the pure immortal lips of love	W
Less lovely than my soul's ideal rage	I
To mate itself with Music and declare	J
Itself part meaning of the stars above	W
