simmered
through
The soil, within the dead deserted brake,
--And no more than a drop of fragrant dew
That fell from flowerlet unto deepest lake:

And which in darkest midnights as a beam
The heart of the chasm suddenly be-smites
To spring and ramble like a ruddy stream.

He scarce had spoken, when a chill presage
(What warriors feel before the battle's rage,
When in the angry trump's sonorous breath
They hear, before it comes, the sound of Death)
My heart possess'd; and, tinged with deadly pale,
I seem'd escaped from Death's eternal jail;
When, fleeting to my side with looks of Love,
A phantom
brighter
than the Cyprian dove
My fingers clasp'd; which, though of power to wield
The temper'd sabre in the bloody field
Against an armed foe, a touch subdued;
And gentle words, and looks that fired the blood,
My friend addressed me (I remember well),
And from his lips these dubious accents fell:--
"Converse with whom you please, for all the train
Are mark'd alike the slaves of Cupid's reign.

Silent the broken-lipp'd Sphynx in Egypt, silent all those century-

Ended for aye the epics of Asia's, Europe's helmeted warriors, ended

Turning back was vain:
Soon his heavy mane
Bore them to the ground,
Then he stalked around,
Smelling
to his prey;
But their fears allay
When he licks their hands,
And silent by them stands.

If heart's dead, yes, then I foresee,
I'll die, or I must
lifeless
be,
Like those statues made of lead.

splendour
of the day of happinesses in the air
To live the taste of colours easily
To enjoy loves so as to laugh
To open eyes at the final moment

Fish feel the narrowing of the main
From sunken piles, while on the strand
Contractors
with their busy train
Let down huge stones, and lords of land
Affect the sea: but fierce Alarm
Can clamber to the master's side:
Black Cares can up the galley swarm,
And close behind the horseman ride.

And beg him, greatly hated,
With

upturnings of the hands,
To loose me from these bonds.
