'Twas when the world was in its prime	A
When the fresh stars had just begun	B
Their race of glory and young Time	A
Told his first birth days by the sun	B
When in the light of Nature's dawn	C
Rejoicing men and angels met	D
On the high hill and sunny lawn	C
Ere sorrow came or Sin had drawn	C
'Twixt man and heaven her curtain yet	D
When earth lay nearer to the skies	E
Than in these days of crime and woe	F
And mortals saw without surprise	E
In the mid air angelic eyes	E
Gazing upon this world below	F
	-
Alas that Passion should profane	G
Even then the morning of the earth	H
That sadder still the fatal stain	G
Should fall on hearts of heavenly birth	H
And that from Woman's love should fall	I
So dark a stain most sad of all	I
	-
One evening in that primal hour	J
On a hill's side where hung the ray	K
Of sunset brightening rill and bower	J
Three noble youths conversing lay	K
And as they lookt from time to time	A
To the far sky where Daylight furled	D
His radiant wing their brows sublime	A
Bespoke them of that distant world	D
Spirits who once in brotherhood	D
Of faith and bliss near ALLA stood	D
And o'er whose cheeks full oft had blown	L
The wind that breathes from ALLA'S throne	L
Creatures of light such as still play	K
Like motes in sunshine round the Lord	D
And thro' their infinite array	K
Transmit each moment night and day	K
The echo of His luminous word	D
	-
Of Heaven they spoke and still more oft	D
Of the bright eyes that charmed them thence	M
Till yielding gradual to the soft	D
And balmy evening's influence	N
The silent breathing of the flowers	O
The melting light that beamed above	P
As on their first fond erring hours	O
Each told the story of his love	P
The history of that hour unblest	D
When like a bird from its high nest	D
Won down by fascinating eyes	E
For Woman's smile he lost the skies	E
	-
The First who spoke was one with look	Q
The least celestial of the three	R
A Spirit of light mould that took	Q
The prints of earth most yieldingly	K
Who even in heaven was not of those	S
Nearest the Throne but held a place	T
Far off among those shining rows	S
That circle out thro' endless space	T
And o'er whose wings the light from Him	U
In Heaven's centre falls most dim	U
	-
Still fair and glorious he but shone	L
Among those youths the unheavenliest one	B
A creature to whom light remained	D
From Eden still but altered stained	D
And o'er whose brow not Love alone	L
A blight had in his transit cast	D
But other earthlier joys had gone	C
And left their foot prints as they past	D
Sighing as back thro' ages flown	L
Like a tomb searcher Memory ran	V
Lifting each shroud that Time had thrown	L
O'er buried hopes he thus began	V
	-

First Angel's Story	R
	-
	-
'Twas in a land that far away	K
Into the golden orient lies	E
Where Nature knows not night's delay	K
But springs to meet her bridegroom Day	K
Upon the threshold of the skies	E
One morn on earthly mission sent	D
And mid way choosing where to light	D
I saw from the blue element	D
Oh beautiful but fatal sight	D
One of earth's fairest womankind	D
Half veiled from view or rather shrined	D
In the clear crystal of a brook	Q
Which while it hid no single gleam	W
Of her young beauties made them look	Q
More spirit like as they might seem	W
Thro' the dim shadowing of a dream	W
Pausing in wonder I lookt on	X
While playfully around her breaking	Y
The waters that like diamonds shone	L
She moved in light of her own making	Y
At length as from that airy height	D
I gently lowered my breathless flight	D
The tremble of my wings all o'er	J
For thro' each plume I felt the thrill	K
Startled her as she reached the shore	Z
Of that small lake her mirror still	K
Above whose brink she stood like snow	F
When rosy with a sunset glow	F
Never shall I forget those eyes	E
The shame the innocent surprise	E
Of that bright face when in the air	A2
Uplooking she beheld me there	A2
It seemed as if each thought and look	Q
And motion were that minute chained	D
Fast to the spot such root she took	Q
And like a sunflower by a brook	Q
With face upturned so still remained	D
	-
In pity to the wondering maid	D
Tho' loath from such a vision turning	Y
Downward I bent beneath the shade	D
Of my spread wings to hide the burning	Y
Of glances which I well could feel	K
For me for her too warmly shone	L
But ere I could again unseal	K
My restless eyes or even steal	K
One sidelong look the maid was gone	C
Hid from me in the forest leaves	B2
Sudden as when in all her charms	C2
Of full blown light some cloud receives	B2
The Moon into his dusky arms	C2
	-
'Tis not in words to tell the power	J
The despotism that from that hour	J
Passion held o'er me Day and night	D
I sought around each neighboring spot	D
And in the chase of this sweet light	D
My task and heaven and all forgot	D
All but the one sole haunting dream	W
Of her I saw in that bright stream	W
	-
Nor was it long ere by her side	D
I found myself whole happy days	D2
Listening to words whose music vied	D
With our own Eden's seraph lays	D2
When seraph lays are warmed by love	P
But wanting that far far above	P
And looking into eyes where blue	K
And beautiful like skies seen thro'	J
The sleeping wave for me there shone	L
A heaven more worshipt than my own	L
Oh what while I could hear and see	R
Such words and looks was heaven to me	R
	-
Tho' gross the air on earth I drew	J
'Twas blessed while she breathed it too	J
Tho' dark the flowers tho' dim the sky	E2
Love lent them light while she was nigh	E2
Throughout creation I but knew	J
Two separate worlds the one that small	K
Beloved and consecrated spot	D
Where LEA was the other all	K
The dull wide waste where she was not	D
	-
But vain my suit my madness vain	G
Tho' gladly from her eyes to gain	G
One earthly look one stray desire	J
I would have torn the wings that hung	F2
Furled at my back and o'er the Fire	J
In GEHIM'S pit their fragments flung	F2
'Twas hopeless all pure and unmoved	D
She stood as lilies in the light	D
Of the hot noon but look more white	D
And tho' she loved me deeply loved	D
'Twas not as man as mortal no	F
Nothing of earth was in that glow	F
She loved me but as one of race	T
Angelic from that radiant place	T
She saw so oft in dreams that Heaven	B
To which her prayers at morn were sent	D
And on whose light she gazed at even	G2
Wishing for wings that she might go	F
Out of this shadowy world below	F
To that free glorious element	D
	-
Well I remember by her side	D
Sitting at rosy even tide	D
When turning to the star whose head	D
Lookt out as from a bridal bed	D
At that mute blushing hour she said	D
'Oh that it were my doom to be	R
'The Spirit of yon beauteous star	J
'Dwelling up there in purity	R
'Alone as all such bright things are	J
'My sole employ to pray and shine	H2
'To light my censer at the sun	B
'And cast its fire towards the shrine	H2
'Of Him in heaven the Eternal One '	-
	-
So innocent the maid so free	R
From mortal taint in soul and frame	I2
Whom 'twas my crime my destiny	R
To love ay burn for with a flame	I2
To which earth's wildest fires are tame	I2
Had you but seen her look when first	D
From my mad lips the avowal burst	D
Not angered no the feeling came	I2
From depths beyond mere anger's flame	I2
It was a sorrow calm as deep	J2
A mournfulness that could not weep	J2
So filled her heart was to the brink	K2
So fixt and frozen with grief to think	K2
That angel natures that even I	E2
Whose love she clung to as the tie	E2
Between her spirit and the sky	E2
Should fall thus headlong from the height	D
Of all that heaven hath pure and bright	D
	-
That very night my heart had grown	L
Impatient of its inward burning	Y
The term too of my stay was flown	L
And the bright Watchers near the throne	L
Already if a meteor shone	L
Between them and this nether zone	L
Thought 'twas their herald's wing returning	Y
Oft did the potent spell word given	B
To Envoys hither from the skies	E
To be pronounced when back to heaven	B
It is their time or wish to rise	E
Come to my lips that fatal day	D
And once too was so nearly spoken	B
That my spread plumage in the ray	D
And breeze of heaven began to play	D
When my heart failed the spell was broken	B
The word unfinisht died away	D
And my checkt plumes ready to soar	J
Fell slack and lifeless as before	J
How could I leave a world which she	R
Or lost or won made all to me	R
No matter where my wanderings were	J
So there she loo	J
