Ode to Lycoris MayA
-
Enough of climbing toil Ambition treadsB
Here as 'mid busier scenes ground steep and roughC
Or slippery even to peril and each stepD
As we for most uncertain recompenceB
Mount toward the empire of the fickle cloudsB
Each weary step dwarfing the world belowE
Induces for its old familiar sightsB
Unacceptable feelings of contemptF
With wonder mixed that Man could e'er be tiedG
In anxious bondage to such nice arrayA
And formal fellowship of petty thingsB
Oh 'tis the 'heart' that magnifies this lifeH
Making a truth and beauty of her ownI
And moss grown alleys circumscribing shadesB
And gurgling rills assist her in the workJ
More efficaciously than realms outspreadG
As in a map before the adventurer's gazeB
Ocean and Earth contending for regardG
The umbrageous woods are left how far beneathK
But lo where darkness seems to guard the mouthL
Of yon wild cave whose jagged brows are fringedG
With flaccid threads of ivy in the stillM
And sultry air depending motionlessB
Yet cool the space within and not uncheeredG
As whoso enters shall ere long perceiveN
By stealthy influx of the timid dayG
Mingling with night such twilight to composeB
As Numa loved when in the Egerian grotG
From the sage Nymph appearing at his wishO
He gained whate'er a regal mind might askP
Or need of counsel breathed through lips divineQ
Long as the heat shall rage let that dim caveR
Protect us there deciphering as we mayG
Diluvian records or the sighs of EarthS
Interpreting or counting for old TimeT
His minutes by reiterated dropsB
Audible tears from some invisible sourceB
That deepens upon fancy more and moreU
Drawn toward the centre whence those sighs creep forthV
To awe the lightness of humanityG
Or shutting up thyself within thyselfR
There let me see thee sink into a moodG
Of gentler thought protracted till thine eyeW
Be calm as water when the winds are goneX
And no one can tell whither Dearest FriendG
We two have known such happy hours togetherY
That were power granted to replace them fetchedG
From out the pensive shadows where they lieW
In the first warmth of their original sunshineQ
Loth should I be to use it passing sweetG
Are the domains of tender memoryG
