With beckoning fingers bright	A
In heaven uplifted from the darkness wakes	B
Upon a sudden radiant Fire	C
And out of slumber shakes	B
Her wild hair to the night	A
Bewitching all to run with hurried feet	D
And stand and gaze upon her beauty dire	E
	-
For her the shrinking gloom	F
Yields and a place prepares	G
An ample scene and a majestic room	F
Slowly the river bares	G
His bank above in endless tier	H
Glittering out of the night the windows come	I
To that bright summons and at last appear	J
Hovering enkindled and unearthly clear	J
Steeple and tower and the suspended dome	K
	-
But whence are these that haste	L
So rapt What throngs along the street that press	M
Raised by enchantment from the midnight waste	L
That even now was sleeping echoless	M
Men without number lured from near and far	N
As by a world portending star	N
Lo on the bright bank without interval	O
Faces in murmuring line	P
With earnest eyes that shine	P
Across the stream gaze ever on the wall	Q
Faces and dense along the bridge's side	R
Uncounted faces softly the wheels glide	R
Approaching lest they break the burning hush	S
Of all that multitude aflush	S
With secret strange desire	C
Warm in the great light as themselves afire	E
Thousands are gazing and all silently	T
How to the throbbing glare their hearts reply	U
As tossing upward a dim sparkled plume	F
The beautiful swift Fury scares the sky	U
The stars look changed on high	U
And red the steeples waver from the gloom	F
Distantly clear over the water swells	M
The roar the iron stanchions dribble bright	A
And faltering with strong quiver to its fall	Q
Drops slowly rushing the great outer wall	Q
From lip to lip a wondering murmur goes	M
As crouching a dark moment o'er its prey	V
Swiftly again upleaps	M
The wild flame and exulting madly glows	M
The city burns in an enchanted day	V
Still the great throng impassioned silence keeps	M
Like an adoring host in ecstasy	M
Did ever vision of the opened sky	U
Entrance more deeply or did ever voice	M
Of a just wrath more terribly rejoice	M
The houseless beggar gazing has forgot	W
His hunger happy lovers' hands relax	M
They look no more into each others' eyes	M
Wrapt in its mother's shawl	Q
The fretting child no longer cries	M
And that soul piercing flame	X
Melts out like wax	M
The prosperous schemer's busy schemes	M
The reveller like a visionary gleams	M
An aged wandering pair lift up their heads	M
Out of old memories to each to all	Q
Time and the strong world are no more the same	X
But threatened perishable trembling brief	Y
Even as themselves an instant might destroy	Z
With all the builded weight of years and grief	Y
All that old hope and pleasant usage dear	J
Glories and dooms before their eyes appear	J
Upon their faces joy	Z
Within their bosoms fear	J
	-
Is it that even now	A2
In all O radiant Desolation thou	A2
Far off prefigurest	W
To each obscurely wounded breast	W
The dream of what shall be	M
And in their hearts they see	M
Rushing in ardent ruin out of sight	W
With all her splendour with her streaming robe	B2
Of seas and her pale peoples the vast globe	B2
A sullen ember crumble into night	W
