The sun that seemed, in stooping, sure to melt

Our mountain-ridge, is mastered: black the belt

Of westward crags, his gold could not corrupt,

Barriers again the valley, lets the flow

Of lavish glory waste itself away

—Whither? For new climes, fresh eyes breaks the day!

Night was not to be baffled. If the glow

Were all that's gone from us! Did clouds, afloat

So filmily but now, discard no rose,

Sombre throughout the fleeciness that grows
