=The Earth=

Oh Earth, you spinning clod of earth,

And then you lamp, you lemon-coloured beauty;

Oh Earth, you rotten apple rolling downward,

Then brilliant Earth, from the burr of night in beauty

As a jewel-brown horse-chestnut newly issued:--

You are all these, and strange, it is my duty

To take you all, sordid or radiant tissued.
