As in her chariot the
Phrygian
goddess rode,
Crowned with high turrets, happy to have borne
Such quantity of gods, so her I mourn,
This ancient city, once whole worlds bestrode:
On whom, more than the Phrygian, was bestowed
A wealth of progeny, whose power at dawn
Was the world's power, her grandeur, now shorn,
Knowing no match to that which from her flowed.

Anear, around me, hiding in the night
Of this permitted ignorance your light,
This feebleness to spare,--
Forgive me, that mine earthly heart should dare
Shape images of
unincarnate
spirits
And lay upon their burning lips a thought
Cold with the weeping which mine earth inherits.

Who bask amid these knolls
May catch a faery sound
On sleepy

Till Earth outwears
Shall love like theirs
Suffuse this glen!
