Where the wind stirs it, mystical little breaths

Coming between the roses; something, too,

In Vulcan's figure; he is Vulcan, too,

Deprived his shop, great bellows, hammer, anvil,

Sitting so quietly beside me, hands

Spread over knees; something of these evokes

A pathos, and immediately in key

With all of this he says: I have achieved

By labor, concentration, not at all

By gifts or genius, being commonplace
