Of ocean-floods,—whose shadows there

Look like the ruins, grand and fair,

Of some lost ATALANTIS, seen

Beneath the wave, when heaven's serene.

People those palaces with forms

Lovely as TITIAN ever drew—

Bright creatures, whom the sunbeam warms

With that ethereal gas, all through.

Which finds a vent at lips and eyes,

And lights up in a lover's sighs.
