I halted at the margin of the wood	A
For tortuous was the path and overhead	B
Low branches hung and roots and fragments rude	C
Of rock hindered the tardy foot I led	B
My timid horse that started at our tread	B
And looked about on every side in fear	D
Until arising from the jocund shed	B
The voice of laughter broke upon our ear	E
And through the chinks the light shone out as we drew near	D
	-
I tied the bridle rain about a tree	F
And on the ample flatness of a stone	G
Awhile I lay 'Tis very sweet to be	F
In social mirth's domain unseen alone	G
Sweet to make others' happiness one's own	G
And he who views the dance from still recess	H
Or reads a love tale in a meadow prone	G
Secures the joy without the weariness	I
And fills with love's delight nor feels its sore distress	H
	-
This mind detained me in the night but soon	J
Far other thoughts usurped my regal soul	K
With the Supreme made fitter to commune	J
When human sympathy illumes the scroll	K
And points the secrets of the mighty Whole	K
I've spurned the earth to roam the Universe	L
And with the Eternal deadened Time's control	K
For refuge from the shadow of a curse	L
Or lust of curious lore than maddest motive worse	L
	-
And Thou Great Essence of all things that are	M
Hast been to me most prodigal of grace	N
Thou'st smiled on me in many a twinkling star	M
The morn hath showered kisses on my face	N
In Nature's arms thy bodily embrace	N
Not purest poet hath more fondled been	O
'Tis true that I have often thought to trace	N
Instead of peace a harshness in thy mien	P
And where I beauty sought discordant sights obscene	P
	-
But not with aching heart I sought thee now	Q
That thou might'st numb with thy narcotic night	R
The restless pulse oblivious balm bestow	S
Infuse this frailty with thy glorious might	R
And blind with beauty to the mortal blight	R
Not even wilful love possessed me when	T
Behold thy spirit stole upon my sight	R
And ravished me What wonder that my ken	T
Forsook this little world of vanity and men	T
	-
And howsoe'er it seemed at other times	U
To my imperfect and diseas d mind	V
Which darkened with the shadow of men's crimes	U
Thy virtue fancying in thee to find	V
Reflection of the ills that shake mankind	V
Though on me now a tempest broke and war	W
Convulsed the elements I would perceive behind	V
Law harmony and purpose That falling star	M
Seems sped to be the sun of new formed worlds afar	M
	-
And yet the scene was such as often shares	X
The obscurest soul no wondrous rarity	F
The slender maples holding to the stars	Y
Their outstretched arms as praying silently	F
A sea of stars a dancing dazzling sea	F
Tremendous mighty infinite supreme	Z
Emblem of Might Eternity's decree	F
Half crediting the mythologic dream	Z
And making of heaven th' abode that vulgar fancies deem	Z
	-
A common scene perchance but to the mind	V
Which Nature hath enlightened with her ray	A2
Nothing in her is common Not confined	V
Her beauty to the sparkle and the play	A2
Of solitary spring or rare bouquet	A2
Of tropic flowers she hath grandeur more	W
Than crowns the mighty peaks of Himalay	A2
Or hurtles in the great Niagara's roar	W
To me one beam of light can bring a priceless store	W
	-
Nay more the mind wherein her fulness dwells	B2
Can beauty and sublimity instil	A2
In all created things till it excels	B2
Even herself though nurtured at her rill	A2
The mind may be a monarch if it will	A2
And that of which great Nature is the nurse	L
May rule itself subjecting every ill	A2
And be the Sun all phantoms to disperse	L
And scatter glory round Lord of the Universe	L
	-
What matter whether mortals own his sway	A2
He knows his kingdom is not of this world	C2
It is within perchance some purer day	A2
Will see the standard of his soul unfurled	C2
When Good surviving sees the Evil hurled	C2
To final dissolution and the force	D2
Of worlds no longer round their centres whirled	C2
Shall all combine and gather to the source	D2
To serve some nobler end if such shall have recourse	D2
	-
Rapt in the purple transport of a god	E2
Pacing the ether with star treading stride	F2
With conscious power imperial purpose shod	E2
And iris crowned with radiating pride	F2
I seemed to move nay move what throbbing side	F2
Intenses immortality what brow	Q
Thrills with severe conception deified	F2
As Pallas sprung Such did the gods allow	Q
I fear 'tis half a sin to tell what I do now	Q
	-
If fire be stolen from Heaven it is not	G2
The theft consigns the mortal to the shock	H2
Of the Olympian vengeance such the lot	G2
Of him whose earthly pride prepares the rock	H2
And taints the air where the penal vultures flock	H2
Whose after weakness welds the fettering chain	I2
Then gods despise and fellow mortals mock	H2
And here return me to the theme I've ta'en	T
And sing the simple labors of the humble swain	I2
	-
Their voices told they gave me welcome warm	J2
Though oft their faces I can scarcely see	F
For steam clouds now atween us rise and swarm	J2
And rolling upward find their vent in glee	F
Like more alas too eager to be free	F
Who fear to go yet shudder to remain	I2
Shall mortal spirits then be lost like ye	F
'Tis ours the burning heart the boiling brain	I2
Which yield the vapor life But then ye fall in rain	I2
	-
Ye fall in rain ye change but are not lost	K2
Ye reach the ocean and the mighty sea	F
Absorbs you in her bosom with the host	L2
Who have attested their eternity	F
And if this world we quicken so shall we	F
When this dim fluttering earthly scene is through	M2
Commingle with the heroic and the free	F
The pure the good the beautiful the true	M2
Whose influence earth surrounds and sheds its freshening dew	M2
	-
	-
	-
I oped the door supposing still 'twas night	R
But what a morn I seemed to half intrude	C
In sacred fane upon a holy rite	R
A purpled crimson peached the east and strewed	R
The whole horizon round with amethyst hued	R
Blue bending tints And as I forward rode	R
And in my hallowed east such vision viewed	R
I thought of one o'er whom this glory glowed	R
Who like Aurora soon would leave her soft abode	R
