Army of Clouds ye winged Hosts in troops	A
Ascending from behind the motionless brow	B
Of that tall rock as from a hidden world	C
Oh whither with such eagerness of speed	D
What seek ye or what shun ye of the gale	E
Companions fear ye to be left behind	F
Or racing o'er your blue ethereal field	G
Contend ye with each other of the sea	H
Children thus post ye over vale and height	I
To sink upon your's mother's lap and rest	J
Or were ye rightlier hailed when first mine eyes	K
Beheld in your impetuous march the likeness	L
Of a wide army pressing on to meet	M
Or overtake some unknown enemy	H
But your smooth motions suit a peaceful aim	N
And Fancy not less aptly pleased compares	O
Your squadrons to an endless flight of birds	P
Aerial upon due migration bound	Q
To milder climes or rather do ye urge	R
In caravan your hasty pilgrimage	S
To pause at last on more aspiring heights	T
Than these and utter your devotion there	U
With thunderous voice Or are ye jubilant	V
And would ye tracking your proud lord the Sun	W
Be present at his setting or the pomp	X
Of Persian mornings would ye fill and stand	Y
Poising your splendours high above the heads	Z
Of worshipers kneeling to their up risen God	A2
Whence whence ye Clouds this eagerness of speed	D
Speak silent creatures They are gone are fled	B2
Buried together in yon gloomy mass	C2
That loads the middle heaven and clear and bright	I
And vacant doth the region which they thronged	D2
Appear a calm descent of sky conducting	E2
Down to the unapproachable abyss	F2
Down to that hidden gulf from which they rose	G2
To vanish fleet as days and months and years	H2
Fleet as the generations of mankind	F
Power glory empire as the world itself	I2
The lingering world when time hath ceased to be	H
But the winds roar shaking the rooted trees	J2
And see a bright precursor to a train	K2
Perchance as numerous overpeers the rock	L2
That sullenly refuses to partake	M2
Of the wild impulse From a fount of life	N2
Invisible the long procession moves	O2
Luminous or gloomy welcome to the vale	E
Which they are entering welcome to mine eye	P2
That sees them to my soul that owns in them	Q2
And in the bosom of the firmament	F
O'er which they move wherein they are contained	F
A type of her capacious self and all	R2
Her restless progeny	H
	-
A humble walk	S2
Here is my body doomed to tread this path	T2
A little hoary line and faintly traced	F
Work shall we call it of the shepherd's foot	F
Or of his flock joint vestige of them both	U2
I pace it unrepining for my thoughts	V2
Admit no bondage and my words have wings	W2
Where is the Orphean lyre or Druid harp	X2
To accompany the verse The mountain blast	F
Shall be our 'hand' of music he shall sweep	Y2
The rocks and quivering trees and billowy lake	M2
And search the fibres of the caves and they	Z2
Shall answer for our song is of the Clouds	A3
And the wind loves them and the gentle gales	B3
Which by their aid re clothe the naked lawn	C3
With annual verdure and revive the woods	D3
And moisten the parched lips of thirsty flowers	E3
Love them and every idle breeze of air	U
Bends to the favourite burthen Moon and stars	F3
Keep their most solemn vigils when the Clouds	A3
Watch also shifting peaceably their place	G3
Like bands of ministering Spirits or when they lie	P2
As if some Protean art the change had wrought	F
In listless quiet o'er the ethereal deep	Y2
Scattered a Cyclades of various shapes	H3
And all degrees of beauty O ye Lightnings	W2
Ye are their perilous offspring and the Sun	W
Source inexhaustible of life and joy	I3
And type of man's far darting reason therefore	J3
In old time worshiped as the god of verse	K3
A blazing intellectual deity	H
Loves his own glory in their looks and showers	E3
Upon that unsubstantial brotherhood	F
Visions with all but beatific light	F
Enriched too transient were they not renewed	F
From age to age and did not while we gaze	L3
In silent rapture credulous desire	M3
Nourish the hope that memory lacks not power	M3
To keep the treasure unimpaired Vain thought	F
Yet why repine created as we are	N3
For joy and rest albeit to find them only	H
Lodged in the bosom of eternal things	W2
