Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPDQRS DTDUVGVWXYZA2Ye powers unseen to whom the bards of Greece | A |
Erected altars ye who to the mind | B |
More lofty views unfold and prompt the heart | C |
With more divine emotions if erewhile | D |
Not quite unpleasing have my votive rites | E |
Of you been deem'd when oft this lonely seat | F |
To you i consecrated then vouchsafe | G |
Here with your instant energy to crown | H |
My happy solitude It is the hour | I |
When most i love to invoke you and have felt | J |
Most frequent your glad ministry divine | K |
The air is calm the sun's unveiled orb | L |
Shines in the middle heaven the harvest round | M |
Stands quiet and among the golden sheaves | N |
The reapers lie reclin'd the neighbouring groves | O |
Are mute nor even a linnet's random strain | P |
Echoeth amid the silence Let me feel | D |
Your influence ye kind powers Aloft in heaven | Q |
Abide ye or on those transparent clouds | R |
Pass ye from hill to hill or on the shades | S |
Which yonder elms cast o'er the lake below | D |
Do you converse retir'd From what lov'd haunt | T |
Shall i expect you Let me once more feel | D |
Your influence o ye kind inspiring powers | U |
And i will guard it well nor shall a thought | V |
Rise in my mind nor shall a passion move | G |
Across my bosom unobserv'd unstor'd | V |
By faithful memory and then at some | W |
More active moment will i call them forth | X |
Anew and join them in majestic forms | Y |
And give them utterance in harmonious strains | Z |
That all mankind shall wonder at your sway | A2 |
