And I stained the water clear,
And I wrote my happy songs,
Every child may joy to hear.

The silent trees, and saw the intruding sky--
Then, dearest Maiden, move along these shades
In gentleness of heart; with gentle hand
Touch--for there is a spirit in the woods. |

Be but organic Harps diversely fram'd,
That tremble into thought, as o'er them sweeps
Plastic and vast, one intellectual breeze,
At once the Soul of each, and God of all? |

Hence, viper thoughts, that coil around my mind,
Reality's dark dream!

Which long has raved unnoticed. What a scream
Of agony by torture lengthened out
That lute sent forth! |

And I have felt
a presence that disturbs me with the joy
of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime
of something far more deeply interfused,
whose dwelling is the light of setting suns,
and the round ocean and the living air,
and the blue sky, and in the mind of man:
a motion and spirit, that impels
all thinking things, all objects of all thought,
and rolls through all things. |

An old, mad, blind, despised, and dying king,--
Princes, the dregs of their dull race, who flow
Through public scorn,--mud from a muddy spring,--

Religion Christless, Godless--a book sealed;

Are graves, from which a glorious Phantom may
Burst, to illumine our tempestous day. |

Paradise, and groves
Elysian, Fortunate fields-like those of old
Sought on the Atlantic Main, why should they be
A history only of departed things,
Or a mere fiction of of what never was?
For the discerning intellect of Man,
When wedded to this goodly universe
In love and holy passion, shall find these
A simple produce of the common day. |

Is this a holy thing to see,
In a rich and fruitful land,

And so many children poor?
It is a land of poverty! |
