Times out of mind,
And keen are yet, must not regret
To drop behind.
Thy May-poles, too, with garlands grac'd;
Thy morris dance, thy Whitsun ale,
Thy shearing feast which never fail;
Thy harvest-home, thy wassail bowl,

And strive with weak sight to explore
The silent gulfs below which the long shadows drown;
Through every one of these he passed before.
By many ocean-sunsets tinged and fired,
Where mighty pillars, in rows,
Seemed like basaltic caves when day expired.
When those that gaue the Thane of Cawdor to me,

Or stone which oceans from our shores divide,
The chance of other love have so denied
That one sweet thought alone contents my heart,
From which if ne'er my tongue depart,
Pity the guided though you blame the guide.

It spilt the driving godhead from his seat,
And the unreined team of hours riskily dragg'd
Their crippled duty,--if in that lurching world

So I were left possessing thee, and that
Escape from Heaven, the beauty that goes with thee.
