Cloud-built, and white, and interspaced with blue,

Above the green earth’s fields that I did pass,

Bearing ungathered harvests in their grass

Of star-bright flowers, and every magic hue

Born of the hours, and of the kindling zone

Sun-cast o’er wandering mead and upland lone,

That now on every hand mine eyes did fill,

As went the wheel whirl’d with the fiery will.

And always, as the changeful landscape spread

Mead beyond mead, and furrow’d ridge and tree,
