To transient eyes the morning’s hue.

Such buds on every fruit-tree smile,

Such perfumes blow on every gale,

Such constellated hangings veil

The outer emptiness awhile;

And these frail senses that were thine,

Because so frail, and worn so fine,

Are as a Venice glass, wherethrough

Life’s last drop of evening wine

Shall like a draught of morning shine.
