This lyre as thine ’tis using!

Then might I rise with mystical eyes,

Swoll’n with the theme of musing,

Soaring athirst my song to burst

With utterance scarce of choosing.

So Song would scorn corporeal bourne;

Dilated so pursuing

With eager breast its passionate quest,

All transient worth eschewing,

Pausing its lute awhile when, mute,
