They haled us to the Princess where she sat
High in the hall: above her drooped a lamp,
And made the single jewel on her brow
Burn like the mystic fire on a mast-head,
Prophet of storm: a handmaid on each side
Bowed toward her, combing out her long black hair
Damp from the river; and close behind her stood
Eight
daughters
of the plough, stronger than men,
Huge women blowzed with health, and wind, and rain,
And labour.

Exactly as the rain-filled cloud is seen

Forming a bow, and then drinking there
By plunging deep in Tethys' hoary sheen,
Next, climbing again where it has been,
With bellying shadow darkening everywhere,
Till finally it bursts in
lightning
glare,
And rain, or snow, or hail shrouds the scene:
This city, that was once a shepherd's field,
Rising by degrees, such power did wield,
She made herself the queen of sea and land,
Till helpless to sustain that huge excess,
Her power dispersed, so we might understand
That all, one day, must come to nothingness.

Remember'd it from childhood all complete
Without a gap, yet ne'er before had seen
That royal porch, that high-built fair demesne;
So in they hurried all, maz'd, curious and keen:
Save one, who look'd thereon with eye severe,
And with calm-planted steps walk'd in austere;

As though some knotty problem, that had daft
His patient thought, had now begun to thaw,

Now lamp-lit gardens in the blue dusk shine
Now slowly sinks the day-long labouring sun

And buried from all godlike exercise
Of influence benign on planets pale,
Of admonitions to the winds and seas,
Of

sway above man's harvesting, 110
And all those acts which Deity supreme
Doth ease its heart of love in.
