When first the fiery mantled sun	A
His heavenly race begun to run	A
Round the earth and ocean blue	B
His children four the Seasons flew	B
First in green apparel dancing	C
The young Spring smiled with angel grace	D
Rosy summer next advancing	C
Rushed into her sire's embrace	D
Her blue haired sire who bade her keep	E
For ever nearest to his smile	F
On Calpe's olive shaded steep	E
On India's citron covered isles	G
More remote and buxom brown	H
The Queen of vintage bowed before his throne	I
A rich pomegranate gemmed her gown	H
A ripe sheaf bound her zone	I
But howling Winter fled afar	J
To hills that prop the polar star	J
And lives on deer borne car to ride	K
With barren darkness at his side	K
Round the shore where loud Lofoden	I
Whirls to death the roaring whale	L
Round the hall where runic Odin	I
Howls his war song to the gale	L
Save when adown the ravaged globe	M
He travels on his native storm	N
Deflowering Nature's grassy robe	M
And trampling on her faded form	N
Till light's returning lord assume	O
The shaft the drives him to his polar field	P
Of power to pierce his raven plume	O
And crystal covered shield	P
Oh sire of storms whose savage ear	Q
The Lapland drum delights to hear	Q
When frenzy with her blood shot eye	R
Implores thy dreadful deity	S
Archangel power of desolation	I
Fast descending as thou art	T
Say hath mortal invocation	I
Spells to touch thy stony heart	T
Then sullen Winter hear my prayer	U
And gently rule the ruined year	V
Nor chill the wanders bosom bare	U
Nor freeze the wretch's falling tear	U
To shuddering Want's unmantled bed	W
Thy horror breathing agues cease to lead	W
And gently on the orphan head	W
Of innocence descend	X
But chiefly spare O king of clouds	Y
The sailor on his airy shrouds	Y
When wrecks and beacons strew the steep	E
And specters walk along the deep	E
Milder yet thy snowy breezes	Z
Pour on yonder tented shores	A2
Where the Rhine's broad billow freezes	Z
Or the Dark brown Danube roars	A2
Oh winds of winter List ye there	U
To many a deep and dying groan	I
Or start ye demons of the midnight air	U
At shrieks and thunders louder than your own	I
Alas Even unhallowed breath	B2
May spare the victim fallen low	C2
But man will ask no truce of death	B2
No bounds to human woe	C2
