His forehead was a temple high,

Fit haunt for Dædal Poesy;

For flowers divine to blossom.

His spirit stalked in joyless gloom

Through autumn wolds, where never bloom

Was seen. Above, a sullen moon

Through flying rack was beaming;

The sighing winds their dirges blew,

The withered leaves in eddies flew,

Upon his brow the nightshade’s dew
