NOT in the sky	A
Where it was seen	B
So long in eminence of light serene	B
Nor on the white tops of the glistering wave	C
Nor down in mansions of the hidden deep	D
Though beautiful in green	B
And crystal its great caves of mystery	E
Shall the bright watcher have	F
Her place and as of old high station keep	D
	-
Gone gone	G
Oh nevermore to cheer	H
The mariner who holds his course alone	I
On the Atlantic through the weary night	J
When the stars turn to watchers and do sleep	D
Shall it again appear	H
With the sweet loving certainty of light	J
Down shining on the shut eyes of the deep	D
	-
The upward looking shepherd on the hills	K
Of Chaldea night returning with his flocks	L
He wonders why his beauty doth not blaze	M
Gladding his gaze	M
And from his dreary watch along the rocks	L
Guiding him homeward o er the perilous ways	M
How stands he waiting still in a sad maze	M
Much wondering while the drowsy silence fills	K
The sorrowful vault how lingers in the hope that night	J
May yet renew the expected and sweet light	J
So natural to his sight	J
	-
And lone	I
Where at the first in smiling love she shone	I
Brood the once happy circle of bright stars	N
How should they dream until her fate was known	I
That they were ever confiscate to death	O
That dark oblivion the pure beauty mars	N
And like the earth its common bloom and breath	O
That they should fall from high	A
Their lights grow blasted by a touch and die	A
All their concerted springs of harmony	E
Snapt rudely and the generous music gone	G
	-
Ah still the strain	P
Of wailing sweetness fills the saddening sky	A
The sister stars lamenting in their pain	P
That one of the selectest ones must die	A
Must vanish when most lovely from the rest	Q
Alas t is ever thus the destiny	E
Even Rapture s song hath evermore a tone	I
Of wailing as for bliss too quickly gone	G
The hope most precious is the soonest lost	R
The flower most sweet is first to feel the frost	R
Are not all short lived things the loveliest	R
And like the pale star shooting down the sky	A
Look they not ever brightest as they fly	A
From the lone sphere they blest	R
