And that I walk thus proudly crowned withal
Is that 'tis my distinction; if I fall,
...
Faint with love, the Lady of the South
Lay in the paradise of Lebanon
Under a heaven of cedar boughs: the drouth
...
'How beautiful this night! the balmiest sigh,
Which vernal zephyrs breathe in evening's ear,
Were discord to the speaking quietude
...
'Fairy!' the Spirit said,
And on the Queen of Spells
Fixed her ethereal eyes,
...
Hail to thee, Cambria! for the unfettered wind
Which from thy wilds even now methinks I feel,
Chasing the clouds that roll in wrath behind,
...
O that a chariot of cloud were mine!
Of cloud which the wild tempest weaves in air,
When the moon over the ocean’s line
...
Here I sit with my paper, my pen my ink,
First of this thing, and that thing,
and t'other thing think ;
...
When soft winds and sunny skies
With the green earth harmonize,
And the young and dewy dawn,
...
Daughters of Jove, whose voice is melody,
Muses, who know and rule all minstrelsy
Sing the wide-winged Moon! Around the earth,
...
The stars may dissolve, and the fountain of light
May sink into ne'er ending chaos and night,
Our mansions must fall, and earth vanish away,
...
