Whereon mine immemorial selves have sate,

Canopied by the triple-tinted glory

Of the three suns forever paled and flown.

I am the specter who returns

And dwells content with his forlorn estate

In mansions lost and hoary

Where no lamp burns;

Who feasts within the sepulcher,

And finds the ancient shadows lovelier

Than gardens all emblazed with sevenfold noon,
