At each new cloud-fleece pierced and passaged through,

This was and is and will be evermore

Colored in permanence? The glory swims

Girdling the glory-giver, swallowed straight

By night's abysmal gloom, unglorified

Faced by the onward-faring, see, succeeds

From the abandoned heaven a next surprise,

And where 's the gloom now?—silver-smitten straight,

One glow and variegation! So with me,
