And Lydian airs.

And ever, against eating cares,

Lap me in soft Lydian airs.

To one who has been long in city pent,
'Tis very sweet to look into the fair
And open face of heaven.

As one who, long in populous city pent...
Forth issuing on a summer's morn to breathe

Among the pleasant villages and farms.

How tiptoe Night holds back her dark-grey hood.
The grey-hooded Even.

A mad-pursuing of the fog-born elf,

Whose flitting lantern, through rude nettle-briar,
Cheats us into a bog, into a fire.

[blocks in formation]

A thousand fantasies
Begin to throng into my memory,
Of calling shapes, and beckoning shadows dire,
And airy tongues that syllable men's names
On sands and shores and desert wildernesses.

And the grass, therewith besprent,
Wither'd at dew so sweet and virulent.
Of knot-grass dew-bes prent.

Cool'd a long age in the deep-delved earth.
Hid from the world in a low-delvèd tomb.

Deep in forest drear.

Of forests, and enchantments drear.

Far sunken from the healthy breath of morn.
Sweet is the breath of Morn.

Am I to leave this haven of my rest,
This cradle of my glory, this soft clime,
This calm luxuriance of blissful light,
These crystalline pavilions, and pure fanes?
"Is this the region, this the soil, the clime,"

Said then the lost Archangel, "this the seat

That we must change for Heaven? this mournful gloom

For that celestial light?"

When the chill rain begins at shut of eve.

Vanish'd unseasonably at shut of eve.

At blushing shut of day.

Return'd at shut of evening flowers.

Who cost her mother Tellus keener pangs.
Which cost Ceres all that pain.

With locks not oozy.

His oozy locks he laves.

Too full of joy and soft delicious warmth.
This soft ethereal frame.

The soft delicious air. . . .
Their soft ethereal warmth.

In aid soft warble from the Dorian flute.
The Dorian mood Of flutes and soft recorders.
(By the touch
Of scent,) not far from roses. Turning round,
I saw an arbour with a drooping roof
Of trellis vines, and bells, and larger blooms,
Like floral censers, swinging light in air;
Before its wreathed doorway, on a mound
Of moss, was spread a feast of summer fruits,
Which, nearer seen, seem'd refuse of a meal
By angel tasted or our Mother Eve;

For empty shells were scatter'd on the grass,
And grape-stalks but half bare, and remnants more,
Sweet-smelling, whose pure kinds I could not know...
Among the fragrant husks and berries crush'd
Upon the grass.
