Who dares do this and live? Who dares assail

Thy star-kissed forehead, pure and marble-pale;

And thou so self-possessed 'mid all the stir,

And like to Pallas born of Mulciber?

Oh, I've beheld the sun, at setting time,

Peep o'er the hills as if to say good-bye;

And I have hailed it with the sudden rhyme

Of some new thought, full-freighted with a sigh.
