Up the capacious West a grainy gold,

Luxuriant fluid, burned thro' strong, keen skies,

Which seemed as towering gates of Paradise

Surged dim, far glories on the hungry gaze.

And from that sunset down the roseate ways,

To Accolon, who with his idle lute,

Reclined in revery against a root

Of a great oak, a fragment of that West,

A dwarf, in crimson satin tightly dressed,

Skipped like a leaf the rather frosts have burned
