XIV

Now Morning, not less lavish of her sweets,

Leads us along the woodpaths -- in whose hush

The quivering alchemy of the pure thrush

Cools from above the balsam-dripping heats --

To find, in green retreats,

'Mid men of clay, the great, quick-hearted man

Whose subtle art our human age secretes,

Or him whose brush, tinct with cerulean,

Blooms with soft castle-towers and cloud-capped fleets.
