Thou tak'st thy moods and wear'st her colours on

Thy faithful bosom; morning's milky white,

Noon's sapphire, or the saffron glow of eve;

And all thy balmier hours' fair Element,

Have such divine complexion—crisped smiles,

Luxuriant heavings, and sweet whisperings,

That little is the wonder Love's own Queen

From thee of old was fabled to have sprung—

Creation's common! which no human power

Can parcel or inclose; the lordliest floods
