Some lone orb through your lonely window peeps,

As it played lover over your sweet sleeps,

Think it a golden crevice in the sky,

Which I have pierced but to behold you by!

And when, immortal mortal, droops your head,

And you, the child of deathless song, are dead;

Then, as you search with unaccustomed glance

The ranks of Paradise for my countenance,

Turn not your tread along the Uranian sod

Among the bearded counsellors of God;
