So hath he fallen the Endymion of the airA
And so lies down in slumber lapped for ayeB
Diana passing found his youth too fairA
His soul too fleet and willing to obeyC
She swung her golden moon before his eyesD
Dreaming he rose to follow and ran and was awayC
-
His foot was wing egrave d as the mounting sunE
Earth he disdained the dusty ways of menF
Not yet had learned His spirit longed to runE
With the bright clouds his brothers to answer whenF
The airs were fleetest and could give him handG
Into the starry fields beyond our plodding kenF
-
All wittingly that glorious way he choseH
And loved the peril when it was most brightI
He tried anew the long forbidden snowsH
And like an eagle topped the dropping heightI
Of Nagenhorn and still toward ItalyJ
Past peak and cliff pressed on in glad unerring flightI
-
Oh when the bird lies low with golden wingK
Bruis egrave d past healing by some bitter chanceL
Still must its tireless spirit mount and singK
Of meadows green with morning of the danceL
On windy trees the darting flight awayC
And of that last most blue triumphant downward glanceL
-
So murmuring of the snow THE SNOW AND MOREM
O GOD MORE SNOW on that last field he layC
Despair and wonder spent their passionate storeM
In his great heart through heaven gone astrayC
And early lost Too far the golden moonN
Had swung upon that bright that long untraversed wayC
-
Now to lie ended on the murmuring plainO
Ah this for his bold heart was not the lossP
But that those windy fields he ne'er againF
Might try nor fleet and shimmering mountains crossP
Unfollowed by a path none other knewQ
His bitter woe had here its deep and piteous causeR
-
Dear toils of youth unfinished And songs unwritten leftS
By young and passionate hearts O melodiesT
Unheard whereof we ever stand bereftS
Clear singing Schubert boyish Keats with theseT
He roams henceforth one with the starry bandG
Still paying to fairy call and far commandG
His spirit heed still winged with golden propheciesT
