00:00music when soft voices die vibrates in the memory odors when sweet violets sicken live within the
00:17sense they quicken rose leaves when the rose is dead are heaped for the beloved bed and so thy
00:28thoughts when thou art gone love itself shall slumber on
00:34Ariel to Miranda take this slave of music for the sake of him who is the slave of thee and teach it all
00:50the harmony in which thou canst and only thou make the delighted spirit glow till joy denies itself
00:59again and too intense is turned to pain for by permission and command of thine own Prince Ferdinand
01:09poor Ariel sends this silent token of more than ever can be spoken your guardian spirit Ariel who
01:21from life to life must still pursue your happiness for thus alone can Ariel ever find his own from
01:31Prospero's enchanted cell as the mighty verses tell to the throne of Naples he lit you o'er the trackless
01:39sea flitting on your prow before like a living meteor when you die the silent moon in her interlunar swoon
01:51is not sadder in her cell than deserted area when you live again on earth like an unseen star of birth
02:00Ariel guides you o'er the sea of life from your nativity many changes have been run since Ferdinand and you begun your course of love and
02:12and Ariel still has tracked your steps and served your will now in humbler happier lot this is all remembered not and now
02:23alas the poor sprite is imprisoned for some fault of his in a body like a grave from you he only dares to crave for his service and his sorrow a smile today a song tomorrow
02:43the artist who this idol wrought to echo all harmonious thought felled a tree while on the steep the woods were in their winter sleep rocked in that reposed
02:55divine on the wind swept apennine and dreaming some of autumn past and some of spring approaching fast
03:04and some of April buds and showers and some of songs in July bowers and all of love and so this tree oh that such our death may be died in sleep and felt no pain to live in happier form of nature.
03:12And so this tree, oh that such our death may be, died in sleep and felt no pain to live
03:24in happier form again, from which, beneath heaven's fairest star, the artist wrought
03:33this loved guitar, and taught it justly to reply to all who question skillfully in language
03:41gentle as thine own, whispering in enamored tone, sweet oracles of woods and dells, and
03:50summer winds in sylvan cells, for it had learned all harmonies of the plains and of the skies,
03:57of the forests and the mountains and the many-voiced fountains, the clearest echoes of the hills,
04:04the softest notes of falling rills, the melodies of birds and bees, the murmuring of summer seas,
04:13and pattering rain, and breathing dew, and airs of evening. And it knew that seldom-heard
04:23mysterious sound, which, driven on its diurnal round as it floats through boundless day,
04:29our world enkindles on its way. All this it knows, but will not tell to those who cannot question
04:39well the spirit that inhabits it. It talks according to the wit of its companions, and no more is heard
04:48than has been felt before by those who tempted to betray these secrets of an elder day. But, sweetly,
04:57as its answers will flatter hands of perfect skill, it keeps its highest, holiest tone for our beloved Jane alone.
05:09I met a traveller from an antique land who said, Two vast and trunkless legs of stone stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown and
05:38wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, tell that its sculptor well those passions read which yet survive,
05:48stamped on these life, stamped on these lifeless things, the hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed. And on the pedestal these words appear,
06:02My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings. Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.
06:14Nothing beside remains. Round the decay of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
06:26The lone and level sand stretch far away.
06:36My soul is an enchanted boat, which like a sleeping swan doth float upon the silver waves of thy sweet singing,
06:48And thine doth like an angel sit beside a helm conducting it, whilst all the winds with melody are ringing.
06:58It seems to float ever, forever upon that many-winding river, between mountains, woods, abysses, a paradise of wildernesses,
07:10Till like one in slumber bound, born to the ocean, I float down or round into a sea profound of ever-spreading sound.
07:22Meanwhile thy spirit lifts its pinions in music's most serene dominions, catching the winds that fan that happy heaven,
07:34And we sail on, away, afar, without a course, without a star, but by the instinct of sweet music driven.
07:44Till through Elysian garden islets, by thee most beautiful of pilots,
07:51Where never mortal pinnace glided, the boat of my desire is guided.
07:56Realms where the air we breathe is love, which in the winds and on the waves doth move,
08:02Harmonizing this earth with what we feel above.
08:05We have passed age's icy caves, and manhood's dark and tossing waves,
08:13And youth's smooth ocean smiling to betray.
08:17Beyond the glassy gulfs we flee, of shadowed peopled infancy, through death and birth,
08:24To a diviner day, a paradise of vaulted bowers, lit by downward gazing flowers,
08:32And watery paths that wind between wildernesses calm and green,
08:37Peopled by shapes too bright to see, and rest having beheld,
08:45Somewhat like thee, which walk upon the sea and chant melodiously.
08:59Hail to thee, blithe spirit, bird thou never wert,
09:05That from heaven or near it pourest thy full heart
09:09In profuse strains of unpremeditated art.
09:13Higher still and higher, from the earth thou springest like a cloud of fire,
09:19The blue deep thou wingest, and singing still dost soar,
09:24And soaring ever singest.
09:27In the golden lightning of the sunken sun, O which clouds are brightening,
09:33Thou dost float and run like an unbodied joy whose race is just begun.
09:39The pale purple even melts around thy flight,
09:44Like a star of heaven in the broad daylight thou art unseen,
09:49But yet I hear thy shrill delight, keen as are the arrows of that silver sphere,
09:56Whose intense lamp narrows in the white dawn clear,
10:00Until we hardly see, we feel that it is there.
10:05All the earth and air with thy voice is loud,
10:09As when night is bare from one lonely cloud,
10:13The moon rains out her beams, and heaven is overflowed.
10:17What thou art we know not, what is most like thee?
10:25From rainbow clouds there flow not drops so bright to see,
10:29As from thy presence showers a rain of melody.
10:33Like a poet hidden in the light of thought,
10:37Singing hymns unbidden till the world is wrought to sympathy
10:41With hopes and fears it heeded not.
10:44Like a high-born maiden in a palace tower,
10:48Soothing her love-laden soul in secret hour,
10:52With music sweet as love, which overflows her bower.
10:57Like a glow-worm golden in a dell of dew,
11:01Scattering unbehold in its aerial hue among the flowers and grass,
11:06Which screen it from the view.
11:09Like a rose embowered in its own green leaves,
11:13By warm winds deflowered till the scent it gives
11:16Makes faint with too much sweet those heavy-winged thieves.
11:21Sound of vernal showers on the twinkling grass,
11:25Rain awaken flowers, all that ever was joyous and clear and fresh,
11:30Thy music doth surpass.
11:33Teacher, sprite, or bird, what sweet thoughts are thine?
11:39I have never heard praise of love or wine
11:43That panted forth a flood of rapture so divine.
11:47Chorus hymeneal, or triumphal chant,
11:51Matched with thine would be all but an empty vaunt,
11:54A thing wherein we feel there is some hidden want.
11:58What objects are the fountains of thy happy strain?
12:04What fields or waves or mountains?
12:07What shapes of sky or plain?
12:09What love of thine own kind?
12:12What ignorance of pain?
12:14With thy clear, keen joyance, Langer cannot be.
12:19Shadow of annoyance never came near thee.
12:23Thou lovest, but ne'er knew love's sad satiety.
12:29Waking or asleep, thou of death must deem
12:33Things more true and deep than we mortals dream.
12:37Or how could thy notes flow in such a crystal stream?
12:42We look before and after, and pine for what is not.
12:47Our sincerest laughter with some pain is fraught.
12:51Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought.
12:56Yet if we could scorn hate and pride and fear,
13:01If we were things born not to shed a tear,
13:04I know not how thy joy we ever should come near.
13:09Better than all measures of delightful sound,
13:12Better than all treasures that in books are found,
13:15Thy skill to poet were,
13:17Thou scorner of the ground.
13:21Teach me half the gladness that thy brain must know.
13:26Such harmonious madness from my lips would flow,
13:30The world should listen then,
13:32As I am listening now.
13:41The awful shadow of some unseen power
13:46Floats though unseen amongst us,
13:50Visiting this various world
13:53With as in constant wing as summer winds
13:56That creep from flower to flower.
14:00Like moonbeams,
14:02That behind some piney mountain shower,
14:06It visits within constant glance,
14:09Each human heart and countenance.
14:13Like hues and harmonies of evening,
14:16Like clouds in starlight widely spread,
14:21Like memory of music fled,
14:26Like aught that for its grace may be dear,
14:30And yet dearer for its mystery.
14:34Spirit of beauty,
14:36The dust consecrate with thine own hues,
14:40All thou dost shine upon of human thought or form,
14:44Where art thou gone?
14:48Why dost thou pass away and leave our state,
14:52This dim, vast veil of tears,
14:56Vacant and desolate?
15:00Ask why the sunlight not forever weaves rainbows,
15:05O'er yon mountain river,
15:07Why aught should fail and fade that once is shown,
15:11Why fear and dream and death and birth
15:16Cast on the daylight of this earth,
15:19Such gloom!
15:21Why man has such a scope for love and hate,
15:26Despondency and hope?
15:29No voice from some sublime a world
15:33Have ever to sage or poet these responses given,
15:37Therefore the names of demon, ghost, and heaven
15:43Remain the records of their vain endeavor,
15:47Frail spells, whose uttered charm might not avail to sever,
15:54From all we hear and all we see,
15:57Doubt, chance, and mutability.
16:03Thy light alone,
16:05Like mist o'er mountains driven,
16:08Or music by the night wind sent through strings
16:11Of some still instrument,
16:14Or moonlight on a midnight stream,
16:17Gives grace and truth
16:19To life's unquiet dream,
16:22Love, hope, and self-esteem,
16:28Like clouds depart and come,
16:30For some uncertain moments left.
16:34Man were immortal and omnipotent,
16:36It's thou unknown and awful as thou art,
16:39Keep with thy glorious train,
16:42Firm state within his heart,
16:44Thou messenger of sympathies,
16:47That wax and wane in lover's eyes,
16:50Thou that to human thought art nourishment,
16:54Like darkness to a dying flame,
16:58Depart not as thy shadow came,
17:01Depart not,
17:03Lest the grave should be like life and fear,
17:07A dark reality.
17:10While yet a boy,
17:13I sought for ghosts,
17:16And sped through many a listening chamber,
17:19Cave and rune,
17:21And starlight wood,
17:23With fearful steps pursuing hopes
17:25Of high talk with the departed dead.
17:28I called on poisonous names
17:30With which our youth is fed.
17:33I was not hurt,
17:35I saw them not.
17:37When,
17:39Musing deeply on the lot of life,
17:42At that sweet time when winds
17:44Are wooing all vital things
17:47That wake to bring news of birds
17:49And blossoming,
17:50Sudden,
17:51Thy shadow fell on me.
17:54I shrieked,
17:56And clasped my hands in ecstasy.
18:00I vowed that I would dedicate my powers
18:04To thee and thine.
18:06Have I not kept the vow?
18:08With beating heart and streaming eyes,
18:11Even now I call the phantoms of a thousand hours,
18:15Each from his voiceless grave.
18:17They have envisioned bowers
18:20Of studious zeal or love's delight,
18:23Outwatched with me the envious night.
18:26They know that never joy
18:28Illumed my brow unlinked with hope
18:31That thou wouldst free this world
18:34From its dark slavery.
18:37That thou, O awful loveliness,
18:41Wouldst give whate'er these words cannot express.
18:47The day becomes more solemn and serene
18:52When noon is past.
18:55There is a harmony in autumn
18:57And a lustre in its sky
18:59Which through the summer is not heard or seen
19:02As if it could not be,
19:04As if it had not been.
19:07Thus let thy power,
19:09Which like the truth of nature
19:11On my passive youth descended,
19:13To my onward life supply its calm,
19:17To one who worships thee
19:19And every form containing thee,
19:22Whom, spirit fair,
19:25Thy spells did bind to fear himself,
19:29And love all humankind.
19:38O wild west wind,
19:41Thou breath of autumn's being,
19:44Thou from whose unseen presence
19:46The leaves dead are driven like ghosts
19:49From an enchanter fleeing,
19:51Yellow and black and pale
19:54And hectic red,
19:56Pestilence-stricken multitudes,
20:00O thou who chariotest
20:02To their dark wintry bed
20:05The winged seeds,
20:07Where they lie cold and low,
20:09Each like a corpse within its grave
20:12Until thine azure sister of the spring
20:15Shall blow her clarion o'er the dreaming earth
20:18And fill driving sweet buds
20:21Like flocks to feed in air
20:23With living hues and odors,
20:26Plain and ill.
20:28Wild spirit which art moving everywhere,
20:32Destroyer and preserver,
20:35Here, O here,
20:38Thou on whose stream,
20:41Mid the steep sky's commotion,
20:45Loose clouds like earth's decaying leaves
20:48Are shed,
20:49Shook from the tangled boughs
20:51Of heaven and ocean,
20:54Angels of rain and lightning,
20:56There are spread on the blue surface
20:59Of thine airy surge,
21:00Like the bright hair uplifted
21:02From the head of some fierce menad,
21:05Even from the dim verge of the horizon
21:08To the zenith height,
21:09The locks of the approaching storm,
21:12Thou dirge of the dying year,
21:15To which this closing night
21:17Will be the dome of a vast sepulchre
21:20Vaulted with all thy congregated might of vapors,
21:23From whose solid atmosphere
21:25Black rain and fire and hail will burst,
21:28O here,
21:33Thou who didst waken from his summer dreams,
21:36The blue Mediterranean where he lay lulled
21:39By the coil of his crystalline streams,
21:42Beside a pumice island by his bay,
21:46And saw in sleep old palaces and towers
21:49Quivering within the waves in tenser day,
21:53All overgrown with azure moss and flowers,
21:56So sweet the scents faints picturing them,
22:00Thou for whose path the Atlantic's level powers
22:05Cleaved themselves into chasms,
22:07While far below the sea-blooms
22:11And the oozy woods which wear the sapless foliage
22:14Of the ocean know thy voice,
22:16And suddenly grow grey with fear
22:18And tremble and despoil themselves,
22:21O here!
22:25If I were a dead leaf thou mightest bear,
22:29If I were a swift cloud to fly with thee,
22:32A wave to plant beneath thy power
22:34And share the impulse of thy strength
22:36Only less free than thou, O uncontrollable!
22:40If even I were as in my boyhood
22:42And could be the comrade of thy wanderings over heaven,
22:45As then when to outstrip thy sky speed
22:48Scarce seemed a vision,
22:50I would ne'er have striven as thus
22:53With thee in prayer in my sore need,
22:55O lift me as a wave, a leaf, a cloud,
22:59I fall upon the thorns of life, I bleed!
23:03A heavy weight of ours has chained and bowed,
23:07One too like thee, tameless and swift and proud!
23:16Make me thy lyre, even as the forest is!
23:21What if my leaves are falling like its own?
23:24The tumult of thy mighty harmonies
23:26Will take from both a deep autumnal tone,
23:29Sweet though in sadness!
23:31Be thou spirit, fierce my spirit!
23:34Be thou me, impetuous one!
23:37Drive my dead thoughts over the universe
23:39Like withered leaves to quicken a new birth,
23:42And by the incantation of this verse scatter,
23:45As from an unextinguished hearth ashes and sparks
23:48My words among mankind!
23:50Be through my lips to unawakened earth
23:53The trumpet of a prophecy, O wind!
23:56If winter comes, can spring be far behind?
24:02I weep for Adonais
24:15He is dead
24:17O weep for Adonais
24:21Though our tears thaw not the frost
24:25Which binds so dear a head
24:28And thou, sad hour
24:31Selected from all years to mourn our loss
24:36Rouse thy obscure compeers
24:39And teach them thine own sorrow
24:42Say, with me died Adonais
24:46Till the future dares forget the past
24:50His fate and fame shall be an echo
24:53And a light unto eternity
24:56Where wert thou, mighty mother?
25:00When he lay, when thy son lay
25:04Pierced by the shaft which flies in darkness
25:08Where was lorn Uranio when Adonais died?
25:13With veiled eyes mid listening echoes
25:16In her paradise she sate
25:18While one with soft enamored breath
25:21Rekindled all the fading melodies
25:25With which like flowers that mock the course beneath
25:30He had adorned and hid the coming bulk of death
25:35O weep for Adonais
25:38He is dead
25:41Wake, melancholy mother
25:44Wake and weep
25:47Yet wherefore
25:50Quench within their burning bed thy fiery tears
25:54And let thy loud heart keep like his
25:58A mute and uncomplaining sleep
26:01For he is gone
26:04Where all things wise and fair descend
26:07O dream not that the amorous deep
26:11Will yet restore him to the vital air
26:16Death feeds on his mute voice
26:20And laughs at our despair
26:24Most musical of mourners weep again
26:28Lamentin' you, Urania
26:31He died
26:32Who was the sire of an immortal strain
26:35Blind, old, and lonely
26:37When his country's pride
26:39The priest, the slave, and the liberticide
26:41Trampled and mocked with many
26:43A loathed rite of lust and blood
26:46He went
26:48Unterrified into the gulf of death
26:51But his clear sprite yet reigns o'er earth
26:56The third among the sons of light
27:00Most musical of mourners weep anew
27:05Not all to that bright station dared to climb
27:09And happier they their happiness who knew
27:13Whose tapers yet burn through that night of time
27:17In which sons perished
27:20Others more sublime
27:22Struck by the envious wrath of man or God
27:26Have sunk extinct in their refulgent prime
27:31And some yet live
27:33Treading the thorny road
27:35Which leads through toil and hate
27:38To fame's serene abode
27:41But now thy youngest, dearest one
27:47Has perished
27:49The nursling of thy widowhood
27:51Who grew like a pale flower
27:53By some sad maiden cherished
27:56And fed with true love tears
27:59Instead of dew
28:00Most musical of mourners
28:04Weep anew
28:06Thy extreme hope
28:08The loveliest and the last
28:10The bloom
28:11Whose petals nipped before they blew
28:14Died on the promise of the fruit
28:17Is waste
28:19The broken lily lies
28:23The storm is overpast
28:28To that high capital
28:30Where kingly death
28:32Keeps his pale court in beauty and decay
28:35He came
28:36And bought with price of purest breath
28:40A grave among the eternal
28:42Come away
28:44Haste
28:45While the vault of blue Italian day
28:48Is yet his fitting charnel roof
28:51While still he lies
28:53As if in dewy sleep he lay
28:55Awake him not
28:57Surely he takes his fill
29:00Of deep and liquid rest
29:02Forgetful of all ill
29:06He will awake no more
29:09Oh nevermore
29:11Within the twilight chamber
29:14Spreads apace the shadow
29:16Of white death
29:17And at the door
29:19Invisible corruption
29:21Waits to trace
29:22His extreme way
29:23To her dim dwelling place
29:26The eternal hunger sits
29:29But pity and awe
29:31Soothe her pale rage
29:33Nor dares she to deface
29:35So fair a prey
29:37Till darkness
29:39And the law of change
29:41Shall o'er his sleep
29:43The mortal curtain draw
29:44O weep for Adonais
29:48The quick dreams
29:50The passion-winged ministers
29:52Of thought
29:53Who were his flocks
29:55Whom near the living streams
29:57Of his young spirit he fed
30:00And whom he taught
30:01The love which was its music
30:03Wander not
30:06Wander no more
30:08From kindling brain to brain
30:11But droop there
30:13Whence they sprung
30:15And mourn their lot
30:17Round the cold heart
30:18Where after their sweet pain
30:21They ne'er will gather strength
30:24Or find a home again
30:27And one with trembling hands
30:31Clasps his cold head
30:33And fans him with her moonlight wings
30:36And cries
30:37Our love, our hope, our sorrow
30:40Is not dead
30:42See on the silken fringe
30:44Of his faint eyes
30:46Like dew upon a sleeping flower
30:48There lies a tear
30:50Some dream has loosened
30:52From his brain
30:54Lost angel of a ruined paradise
30:58She knew not t'was around
31:01As with no stain she faded
31:04Like a cloud
31:05Which had outwebbed its reign
31:08And others came
31:11Desires and adorations
31:13Winged persuasions
31:14And veiled destinies
31:15Splendors and glooms
31:17And glimmering incarnations
31:19Of hopes and fears
31:21And twilight fantasies
31:23And sorrow
31:25With her family of sighs
31:28And pleasure blind with tears
31:31Led by the gleam
31:32Of her own dying smile
31:34Instead of eyes
31:35Came in slow pomp
31:38The moving pomp
31:41Might seem like pageantry of mist
31:44On an autemnal stream
31:47All he had loved
31:50And moulded into thought
31:52From shape
31:53And hue
31:54And odour
31:55And sweet sound
31:57Lamented Adonais
31:59Morning sought her eastern watchtower
32:03And her hair unbound
32:05Wet with the tears
32:07Which should adorn the ground
32:09Dimmed the aereal eyes
32:12That kindle day
32:14Afar the melancholy thunder moaned
32:17Pale ocean in unquiet slumber lay
32:21And the wild winds flew round
32:24Sobbing in their dismay
32:27Lost Echo sits amid
32:30The voiceless mountains
32:32And feeds her grief
32:34With his remembered lay
32:36And will no more reply
32:38To winds or fountains
32:40Or amorous birds
32:42Perched on the young green spray
32:45Or herdsman's horn
32:47Or bell at closing day
32:49Since she can mimic
32:51Not his lips
32:53More dear than those
32:55For whose disdain
32:56She pined away
32:57Into a shadow of all sounds
32:59A drear murmur
33:02Between their songs
33:04Is all the woodmen here
33:07Grief made the young spring wild
33:10And she threw down her kindling buds
33:13As if she autumn were
33:15Or they dead leaves
33:17Since her delight is flown
33:19For whom should she have waked
33:21The sullen year
33:23To Phoebus was not Hyacinth
33:25So dear
33:27Nor to himself Narcissus
33:29As to both thou, Adonais
33:34One they stand and seer
33:36Amid the faint companions
33:38Of their youth
33:40With dew all turn to tears
33:43Odour to sighing ruth
33:48Our woe is me
33:51Winter is come and gone
33:54But grief returns
33:56With the revolving year
33:58The airs and streams
34:01Renew their joyous tone
34:03The ants, the bees, the swallows
34:06Re-appear
34:08Fresh leaves and flowers
34:10Deck the dead season's bier
34:13The amorous birds
34:15Now pair in every break
34:17And build their mossy homes
34:19In field and brier
34:21And the green lizard
34:23And the golden snake
34:25Like unimprisoned flames
34:27Out of their trance awake
34:30Through wood and field and stream
34:33And hill and ocean
34:35A quickening life
34:37From the earth's heart has burst
34:39As it has ever done
34:41With change and motion
34:43From the great morning of the world
34:45When first God dawned on chaos
34:48In its stream immersed
34:50The lamps of heaven
34:52Flash with a softer light
34:54All baser things pant
34:57With life's sacred thirst
34:59Diffuse themselves
35:01And spend in love's delight
35:04The beauty and the joy
35:06Of their renewed might
35:08The leprous corpse
35:11Touched by this spirit tender
35:14Exhales itself in flowers
35:16Of gentle breath
35:18Like incarnations of the stars
35:21When splendor is changed to fragrance
35:23They illumine death
35:24And mock the merry worm
35:26That wakes beneath
35:27Nought we know dies
35:31Shall that alone which knows
35:34Be as a sword consumed
35:37Before the sheath
35:38By sightless lightning
35:40The intense Adam glows a moment
35:43Then is quenched
35:45In a most cold repose
35:47Alas
35:50That all we loved of him
35:52Should be
35:53But for our grief
35:55As if it had not been
35:57And grief itself
35:59Be mortal
36:00Woe is me
36:03Whence are we
36:05And why are we
36:07Of what scene
36:08The actors or spectators
36:12Great and mean
36:13Meet massed in death
36:15Who lends what life must borrow
36:18As long as skies are blue
36:21And fields are green
36:23Evening must usher night
36:26Night urge the morrow
36:28Month follow month with woe
36:31And year wake year to sorrow
36:38He will awake no more
36:40Oh never more
36:42Wake thou cried misery
36:45Childless mother
36:47Rise out of thy sleep
36:48And slake in thy heart's core
36:50A wound more fierce than his
36:52With tears and sighs
36:54And all the dreams
36:56That watched Urania's eyes
36:57And all the echoes
36:58Whom their sister's song
37:00Had held in holy silence
37:02Cried arise
37:03Swift as a thought
37:05By the snake memory stung
37:07From her ambrosial rest
37:10The fading splendor sprung
37:12She rose like an autumnal night
37:14That springs out of the east
37:16And follows wild and drear
37:18The golden day
37:19Which on eternal wings
37:21Even as a ghost
37:22Abandoning a beer
37:23Had left the earth a corpse
37:25Sorrow and fear
37:27So struck
37:28So roused
37:29So wrapped Urania
37:31So saddened round her
37:32Like an atmosphere
37:33Of stormy mist
37:35So swept her on her way
37:37Even to the mournful place
37:39Where Adonais lay
37:42Out of her secret paradise
37:44She sped through camps
37:45And cities rough with stone
37:47And steel
37:48And human hearts
37:49Which to her airy tread
37:50Yielding not
37:51Wounded the invisible palms
37:53Of her tender feet
37:55Where'er they fell
37:56And barbed tongues
37:57And thoughts
37:58More sharp than they
38:00Rent the soft form
38:01They never could repel
38:02Whose sacred blood
38:04Like the young tears of May
38:06Paved with eternal flowers
38:09That undeserving way
38:12In the death chamber
38:14For a moment
38:15Death
38:16Shamed by the presence
38:18Of that living might
38:19Blushed to annihilation
38:22And the breath
38:24Revisited those lips
38:26And life's pale light
38:28Flashed through those limbs
38:30So late her dear delight
38:33Leave me not
38:35Wild and drear
38:36And comfortless
38:37As silent lightning
38:38Leaves the starless night
38:40Leave me not
38:41Cried Urania
38:42Her distress
38:44Roused death
38:46Death rose
38:47And smiled
38:49And met her vain caress
38:51Stay yet a while
38:53Speak to me once again
38:55Kiss me
38:56So long but as a kiss
38:57May live
38:58And in my heartless breast
39:00And burning brain
39:01That word
39:02That kiss
39:03Shall all thoughts
39:04Else survive
39:05With food of saddest memory
39:07Kept alive
39:08Now thou art dead
39:10As if it were a part of thee
39:12My Adonais
39:13I would give all that I am
39:15To be as thou now art
39:17But I am chained to time
39:19And cannot thence depart
39:23O gentle child
39:26Beautiful as thou wert
39:28Why didst thou leave
39:29The trodden paths
39:31Of men
39:32Too soon
39:33And with weak hands
39:34Though mighty heart
39:36Dare the unpastured dragon
39:38In his den
39:39Defenseless as thou wert
39:41O where was then
39:42Wisdom the mirrored shield
39:44Or scorn the spear
39:46Or hadst thou waited
39:47The full cycle
39:48When thy spirit
39:49Should have filled
39:50Its crescent sphere
39:52The monsters of life's waste
39:54Had fled from thee
39:56Fled from thee like deer
39:58The herded wolves
40:00Bold only to pursue
40:01The obscene ravens
40:02Clamorous o'er the dead
40:04The vultures
40:05To the conquerors
40:06Banner true
40:07Who feed
40:08Where desolation
40:09First has fed
40:10And whose wings
40:11Reign contagion
40:13How they fled
40:15When like Apollo
40:16From his golden bow
40:18The Pythian of the age
40:19One arrow sped
40:20And smiled
40:21The spoilers tempt
40:24No second blow
40:26They fawn on the proud feet
40:28That spurn them
40:29Lying low
40:31The sun comes forth
40:34And many reptiles spawn
40:37He sets
40:39And each ephemeral insect
40:41Then is gathered into death
40:43Without a dawn
40:45And the immortal stars awake again
40:48So is it in the world
40:50Of living men
40:51A godlike mind
40:53Soars forth
40:54In its delight
40:55Making earth bare
40:56And veiling heaven
40:57And when it sinks
40:58The swarms
41:00That dimmed
41:01Or shared its light
41:03Leave to its kindred lamps
41:06The spirit's awful night
41:09Thus ceased she
41:14And the mountain shepherds came
41:17Their garlands sear
41:19Their magic mantles rent
41:22The pilgrim of eternity
41:24Whose fame
41:25Over his living head
41:27Like heaven is bent
41:28An early but enduring monument
41:31Came veiling all the lightnings
41:34Of his song in sorrow
41:36From her wiles
41:38Irony sent
41:39The sweetest lyrist
41:41Of her saddest wrong
41:43And love taught grief
41:45To fall like music
41:46From his tongue
41:48Midst others of less note
41:51Came one frail form
41:54A phantom among men
41:56Companionless as the last cloud
41:59Of an expiring storm
42:01Whose thunder is its knell
42:03He, as I guess
42:05Had gazed on nature's
42:06Naked loveliness
42:07Actaeon-like
42:10And now he fled astray
42:12With feeble steps
42:13O'er the world's wilderness
42:15And his own thoughts
42:17Along that rugged way
42:18Pursued
42:19Like raging hounds
42:21Their father
42:22And their prey
42:23What softer voice
42:26Is hushed over the dead
42:28Athwart what brow
42:29Is that dark mantle thrown
42:32What form leaned sadly
42:34O'er the white deathbed
42:35In mockery of monumental stone
42:38The heavy heart heaving
42:40Without a moan
42:41If it be he
42:43Who gentlest of the wise
42:45Taught, soothed, loved,
42:47Honored the departed one
42:49Let me not vex
42:51With inharmonious sighs
42:53The silence of that heart's
42:55Accepted sacrifice
42:57Our Adonais has drunk poison
43:03Oh, what deaf and viperous murderer
43:07Could crown life's early cup
43:09With such a draft of woe
43:11The nameless worm
43:13Would now itself disown
43:15It felt, yet could escape
43:18The magic tone
43:19Whose prelude held
43:21All envy, hate, and wrong
43:24But what was howling
43:26In one breast alone
43:28Silent with expectation
43:30Of the song
43:31Whose master's hand is cold
43:34Whose silver lyre unstrung
43:38Peace, peace
43:42He is not dead
43:45He doth not sleep
43:47He hath awakened
43:49From the dream of life
43:51Tis we
43:53Who lost in stormy visions
43:55Keep with phantoms
43:57An unprofitable strife
43:59And in mad trance
44:01Strike with our spirit's knife
44:04In vulnerable nothings
44:06We decay like corpses
44:09In a charnel
44:10Fear and grief
44:12Convulse us
44:13And consume us
44:14Day by day
44:15And cold hopes
44:16Swarm like worms
44:18Within our living clay
44:20He has outsoared
44:22The shadow of our night
44:24Envy and calumny
44:26And hate and pain
44:28And that unrest
44:30Which men miscall delight
44:32Can touch him not
44:34And torture not again
44:36From the contagion
44:38Of the world's slow stain
44:40He is secure
44:42And now can never mourn
44:44A heart grown cold
44:46A head grown grey and vain
44:49Nor when the spirit's self
44:52Has ceased to burn
44:54With sparkless ashes
44:56Load an unlamented urn
44:58He lives
45:02He wakes
45:03Tis death is dead
45:05Not he
45:06Mourn not for Adonais
45:08Thou young dawn
45:09Turn all thy dew
45:11To splendour
45:12For from thee
45:13The spirit thou lamentest
45:14Is not gone
45:15Ye caverns
45:17And ye forests
45:18Cease to moan
45:20Cease
45:21Ye faint flowers
45:23And fountains
45:24And thou
45:25Ere which like a mourning veil
45:28Thy scarf
45:29Hats thrown
45:30O'er the abandoned earth
45:31Now leave it bare
45:33Even to the joyous stars
45:36Which smile on its despair
45:39He is made one with nature
45:42There is heard his voice
45:44In all her music
45:45From the moan of thunder
45:47To the song of night's sweet bird
45:49He is a presence
45:51To be felt and known
45:52In darkness and in light
45:54From herb and stone
45:56Spreading itself
45:57Where'er that power may move
45:59Which has withdrawn
46:00His being to its own
46:02Which wields the world
46:03With never-wearied love
46:05Sustains it from beneath
46:07And kindles it above
46:09He is a portion
46:11Of the loveliness
46:12Which once he made
46:13More lovely
46:15He doth bear his part
46:17While the one spirit's
46:19Plastic stress
46:20Sweeps through the dull
46:21Dense world
46:22Compelling their all-new
46:23Successions
46:24To the forms they wear
46:26Torturing the unwilling dross
46:28That checks its flight
46:29To its own likeness
46:31As each mass may bear
46:33And bursting in its beauty
46:35And its might
46:36From trees and beasts
46:38And men
46:39Into the heavens light
46:41The splendors of the firmament
46:44Of time may be eclipsed
46:46But are extinguished not
46:48Like stars to their appointed height
46:50They climb
46:51And death is a low mist
46:52Which cannot blot
46:53The brightness it may veil
46:55When lofty thought
46:57Lifts a young heart
46:59Above its mortal lair
47:01And love and life contend in it
47:03For what shall be its earthly doom
47:06The dead live there
47:08And move like winds of light
47:10On dark and stormy air
47:15The inheritors of unfulfilled renown
47:17Rose from their thrones
47:19Built beyond mortal thought
47:20Far in the unapparent
47:22Chatterton rose pale
47:24His solemn agony
47:25Had not yet faded from him
47:26Sidney as he fought
47:28And as he fell
47:29And as he lived and loved
47:30Sublimely mild
47:31A spirit without spot
47:33Arose
47:34And Lucan
47:35By his death approved
47:37Oblivion as they rose
47:39Shrank
47:40Like a thing reproved
47:42And many more
47:44Whose names on earth are dark
47:46But whose transmitted effluence
47:48Cannot die
47:49So long as fire outlives
47:51The parent spark
47:53Rose
47:54Robed in dazzling immortality
47:56Thou art become as one of us
47:58They cry
47:59It was for thee
48:00Yon kingless fear
48:02Has long swung blind
48:04In unascended majesty
48:06Silent alone
48:07Amid in heaven of song
48:08Assume thy winged throne
48:10Thou vesper of our throng
48:13Who mourns for Adonais
48:16O come forth fond wretch
48:19And know thyself
48:20And him aright
48:22Clasp with thy panting soul
48:24The pendulous earth
48:26As from a center
48:27Dart thy spirit's light
48:29Beyond all worlds
48:30Until its spacious might
48:31Satiate the void circumference
48:33Then shrink
48:34Even to a point
48:35Within our day and night
48:36And keep thy heart light
48:38Lest it make thee sink
48:40When hope has kindled hope
48:42And lured thee to the brink
48:44Or go to Rome
48:46Which is the sepulcher
48:47O not of him
48:48But of our joy
48:49Tis not that ages
48:51Empires and religions
48:52There lie buried
48:53In the ravage they have wrought
48:55For such as he can lend
48:57They borrow not glory
48:58From those who made
48:59From those who made the world
49:00Their prey
49:01And he is gathered
49:02To the kings of thought
49:04Who waged contention
49:06With their times decay
49:08And of the past
49:09Are all that cannot pass away
49:11Go thou to Rome
49:13At once the paradise
49:15The grave
49:16The city
49:17And the wilderness
49:18And where its wrecks
49:20Like shattered mountains rise
49:22And flowering weeds
49:24And fragrant copses
49:25Dress
49:26The bones of desolation's
49:27Nakedness
49:28Pass
49:29Till the spirit of the spot
49:31Shall lead thy footsteps
49:33To a slope of green excess
49:36Where, like an infant smile
49:40Over the dead a light of laughing flowers
49:44Along the grass is spread
49:48And grey walls moulder round
49:51On which dull time feeds
49:54Like slow fire upon a hoary brand
49:58And one keen pyramid
50:00With wedge sublime
50:02Pavilioning the dust of him
50:05Who planned this refuge
50:07For his memory
50:08Doth stand like flame
50:11Transformed to marble
50:12And beneath a field is spread
50:15On which a newer band
50:17Have pitched in heaven's smile
50:19Their camp of death
50:21Welcoming him we lose
50:23With scarce extinguished breath
50:28Hear pause
50:30These graves are all too young
50:32As yet to have outgrown
50:33The sorrow
50:34Which consigned its charge to each
50:37And if the seal is set here
50:39On one fountain
50:41Of a mourning mind
50:42Break it not thou
50:44Too surely shalt thou find
50:46Thine own well full
50:48If thou returnest home
50:50Of tears and gall
50:52From the world's bitter wind
50:56Seek shelter
50:57In the shadow of the tomb
50:59What Adonais is
51:02Why fear we to become?
51:05The one remains
51:08The many change and pass
51:11Heaven's light forever shines
51:14Earth's shadows fly
51:17Life like a dome
51:20Of many colored glass
51:23Stains the white radiance
51:25Of eternity
51:26Until death tramples it
51:29To fragments
51:30Die if thou wouldst be
51:34With that which thou dost seek
51:37Follow where all is fled
51:40Rome's azure sky
51:42Flowers, ruins, statues, music, words
51:46Words are weak
51:48The glory they transfuse
51:50With fitting truth to speak
51:53Why linger?
51:56Why turn back?
51:58Why shrink my heart?
52:00Thy hopes are gone before
52:03From all things here
52:05They have departed
52:06Thou shouldst now depart
52:09A light is passed
52:12From the revolving year
52:13And man and woman
52:15And what still is dear
52:17Attracts to crush
52:18Repels to make thee wither
52:20The soft sky smiles
52:23The low wind whispers near
52:26Tis Adonais calls
52:28Oh hasten thither
52:30No more let life divide
52:32What death can join together
52:35That light whose smile kindles
52:39The universe
52:40That beauty in which all things
52:42Work and move
52:44That benediction which the
52:46Eclipsing curse of birth
52:48Can quench not
52:49That sustaining love
52:51Which through the web
52:52Of being blindly wove
52:54By man and beast
52:55And earth and air and sea
52:58Burns bright or dim
53:00As each are mirrors of the fire
53:02For which all thirst
53:04Now beams on me
53:06Consuming the last clouds
53:08Of cold mortality
53:10The breath whose might
53:11I have invoked in song
53:13Descends on me
