“Shall I despair because the day is dead,

And all thy strange, sad witchery has passed

Into the gold of visions! Shall I cast

My soul to where the hands of Night outspread

Those cosmic epics, the emotions dread

Of panting planets and of stars aghast!

Shall I bemoan the raptures that outlast

The sun’s swift splendors that so soon are sped!

“Have I not felt the magic of thy hand,

And watched the sun make amber of thy hair!
