My vision with both hands, and saw before me

Such colour'd spots as dance athwart the eyes

Of those that gaze upon the noonday Sun.

Girt with a Zone of flashing gold beneath

His breast, and compass'd round about his brow

With triple arch of everchanging bows,

And circled with the glory of living light

And alternations of all hues, he stood.

'O child of man, why muse you here alone

Upon the Mountain, on the dreams of old
