To earth-born beauty, wanting it unknown?

To bloom give balm, to melody a tone,

Make brightness seem more bright?

Does he not fill the air

With sights, and shapes, and shadows?—make the sky

The dwelling-place of beings, which no eye

But his can image there?

And more than all, his lay

Awakes new feelings in the human heart,

And visions bring that never can depart,
