I	A
	-
BENEATH the concave of an April sky	A
When all the fields with freshest green were dight	B
Appeared in presence of the spiritual eye	A
That aids or supersedes our grosser sight	B
The form and rich habiliments of One	C
Whose countenance bore resemblance to the sun	C
When it reveals in evening majesty	B
Features half lost amid their own pure light	B
Poised like a weary cloud in middle air	D
He hung then floated with angelic ease	E
Softening that bright effulgence by degrees	E
Till he had reached a summit sharp and bare	D
Where oft the venturous heifer drinks the noontide breeze	E
Upon the apex of that lofty cone	F
Alighted there the Stranger stood alone	F
Fair as a gorgeous Fabric of the east	B
Suddenly raised by some enchanter's power	G
Where nothing was and firm as some old Tower	G
Of Britain's realm whose leafy crest	B
Waves high embellished by a gleaming shower	G
	-
II	A
	-
Beneath the shadow of his purple wings	H
Rested a golden harp he touched the strings	H
And after prelude of unearthly sound	B
Poured through the echoing hills around	B
He sang	I
'No wintry desolations	H
Scorching blight or noxious dew	B
Affect my native habitations	H
Buried in glory far beyond the scope	J
Of man's inquiring gaze but to his hope	J
Imaged though faintly in the hue	B
Profound of night's ethereal blue	B
And in the aspect of each radiant orb	K
Some fixed some wandering with no timid curb	L
But wandering star and fixed to mortal eye	A
Blended in absolute serenity	B
And free from semblance of decline	M
Fresh as if Evening brought their natal hour	G
Her darkness splendour gave her silence power	G
To testify of Love and Grace divine	M

'What if those bright fires	H
Shine subject to decay	N
Sons haply of extinguished sires	H
Themselves to lose their light or pass away	N
Like clouds before the wind	B
Be thanks poured out to Him whose hand bestows	H
Nightly on human kind	B
That vision of endurance and repose	H
And though to every draught of vital breath	O
Renewed throughout the bounds of earth or ocean	C
The melancholy gates of Death	O
Respond with sympathetic motion	C
Though all that feeds on nether air	D
Howe'er magnificent or fair	D
Grows but to perish and entrust	B
Its ruins to their kindred dust	B
Yet by the Almighty's ever during care	D
Her procreant vigils Nature keeps	H
Amid the unfathomable deeps	H
And saves the peopled fields of earth	P
From dread of emptiness or dearth	P
Thus in their stations lifting tow'rd the sky	A
The foliaged head in cloud like majesty	B
The shadow casting race of trees survive	Q
Thus in the train of Spring arrive	Q
Sweet flowers what living eye hath viewed	B
Their myriads endlessly renewed	B
Wherever strikes the sun's glad ray	N
Where'er the subtle waters stray	N
Wherever sportive breezes bend	B
Their course or genial showers descend	B
Mortals rejoice the very Angels quit	B
Their mansions unsusceptible of change	R
Amid your pleasant bowers to sit	B
And through your sweet vicissitudes to range '	-

IV	Q
	-
Oh nursed at happy distance from the cares	H
Of a too anxious world mild pastoral Muse	H
That to the sparkling crown Urania wears	H
And to her sister Clio's laurel wreath	S
Prefer'st a garland culled from purple heath	S
Or blooming thicket moist with morning dews	H
Was such bright Spectacle vouchsafed to me	B
And was it granted to the simple ear	T
Of thy contented Votary	T
Such melody to hear	T
'Him' rather suits it side by side with thee	B
Wrapped in a fit of pleasing indolence	H
While thy tired lute hangs on the hawthorn tree	B
To lie and listen till o'er drowsed sense	H
Sinks hardly conscious of the influence	H
To the soft murmur of the vagrant Bee	B
A slender sound yet hoary Time	U
Doth to the 'Soul' exalt it with the chime	U
Of all his years a company	B
Of ages coming ages gone	V
Nations from before them sweeping	W
Regions in destruction steeping	W
But every awful note in unison	C
With that faint utterance which tells	H
Of treasure sucked from buds and bells	H
For the pure keeping of those waxen cells	H
Where She a statist prudent to confer	T
Upon the common weal a warrior bold	B
Radiant all over with unburnished gold	B
And armed with living spear for mortal fight	B
A cunning forager	T
That spreads no waste a social builder one	C
In whom all busy offices unite	B
With all fine functions that afford delight	B
Safe through the winter storm in quiet dwells	H
	-
V	B
	-
And is She brought within the power	T
Of vision o'er this tempting flower	T
Hovering until the petals stay	N
Her flight and take its voice away	N
Observe each wing a tiny van	X
The structure of her laden thigh	Q
How fragile yet of ancestry	B
Mysteriously remote and high	Q
High as the imperial front of man	X
The roseate bloom on woman's cheek	W
The soaring eagle's curved beak	W
The white plumes of the floating swan	Y
Old as the tiger's paw the lion's mane	Z
Ere shaken by that mood of stern disdain	Z
At which the desert trembles Humming Bee	B
Thy sting was needless then perchance unknown	F
The seeds of malice were not sown	F
All creatures met in peace from fierceness free	B
And no pride blended with their dignity	B
Tears had not broken from their source	H
Nor Anguish strayed from her Tartarean den	A2
The golden years maintained a course	H
Not undiversified though smooth and even	B2
We were not mocked with glimpse and shadow then	A2
Bright Seraphs mixed familiarly with men	A2
And earth and stars composed a universal heaven	C
