I hear a sob, as one forlorn might pine—

The white-limbed beauty of a god is thine,

King of the seasons, and the night that hoods

Thy brow majestic, brightest stars enweave—

Thou surely canst not grieve.

But only far away

Mak’st stormy prophecies—well lift them higher,

Till morning on the forehead of the day

Presses a seal of fire.

Dearer to me the scene
