OFT have I caught upon a fitful breeze	A
Fragments of far off melodies	A
With ear not coveting the whole	B
A part so charmed the pensive soul	B
While a dark storm before my sight	C
Was yielding on a mountain height	C
Loose vapours have I watched that won	D
Prismatic colours from the sun	D
Nor felt a wish that heaven would show	E
The image of its perfect bow	F
What need then of these finished Strains	G
Away with counterfeit Remains	G
An abbey in its lone recess	H
A temple of the wilderness	I
Wrecks though they be announce with feeling	J
The majesty of honest dealing	J
Spirit of Ossian if imbound	C
In language thou may'st yet be found	C
If aught intrusted to the pen	K
Or floating on the tongues of men	K
Albeit shattered and impaired	C
Subsist thy dignity to guard	C
In concert with memorial claim	L
Of old grey stone and high born name	L
That cleaves to rock or pillared cave	M
Where moans the blast or beats the wave	M
Let Truth stern arbitress of all	N
Interpret that Original	O
And for presumptuous wrongs atone	P
Authentic words be given or none	D
Time is not blind yet He who spares	Q
Pyramid pointing to the stars	R
Hath preyed with ruthless appetite	C
On all that marked the primal flight	C
Of the poetic ecstasy	S
Into the land of mystery	S
No tongue is able to rehearse	T
One measure Orpheus of thy verse	T
Musaeus stationed with his lyre	U
Supreme among the Elysian quire	U
Is for the dwellers upon earth	V
Mute as a lark ere morning's birth	V
Why grieve for these though past away	W
The music and extinct the lay	W
When thousands by severer doom	X
Full early to the silent tomb	X
Have sunk at Nature's call or strayed	C
From hope and promise self betrayed	C
The garland withering on their brows	Y
Stung with remorse for broken vows	Y
Frantic else how might they rejoice	Z
And friendless by their own sad choice	Z
Hail Bards of mightier grasp on you	A2
I chiefly call the chosen Few	A2
Who cast not off the acknowledged guide	C
Who faltered not nor turned aside	C
Whose lofty genius could survive	B2
Privation under sorrow thrive	B2
In whom the fiery Muse revered	C
The symbol of a snow white beard	C
Bedewed with meditative tears	Q
Dropped from the lenient cloud of years	C2
Brothers in soul though distant times	D2
Produced you nursed in various climes	D2
Ye when the orb of life had waned	C
A plenitude of love retained	C
Hence while in you each sad regret	C
By corresponding hope was met	C
Ye lingered among human kind	C
Sweet voices for the passing wind	C
Departing sunbeams loth to stop	E2
Though smiling on the last hill top	E2
Such to the tender hearted maid	C
Even ere her joys begin to fade	C
Such haply to the rugged chief	F2
By fortune crushed or tamed by grief	F2
Appears on Morven's lonely shore	G2
Dim gleaming through imperfect lore	G2
The Son of Fingal such was blind	C
Maeonides of ampler mind	C
Such Milton to the fountain head	C
Of glory by Urania led	C
