My aspect void of cheer;

The very grey rocks, looking on,

Asked, "What do you here?"

And I could utter no reply;

In sooth, I did not know

Why I had brought a clouded eye

To greet the general glow.

So, resting on a heathy bank,

I took my heart to me;

And we together sadly sank

Into a reverie.

We thought, "When winter comes again,

Where will these bright things be?

All vanished, like a vision vain,

An unreal mockery!

Through deserts, frozen dry,

Poor spectres of the perished spring,

In famished troops, will fly.

And why should we be glad at all?

Before a token of its fall

Is on the surface seen!

Now, whether it were really so,

I never could be sure;

But as in fit of peevish woe,

I stretched me on the moor.

A thousand thousand gleaming fires

Seemed kindling in the air;

A thousand thousand silvery lyres

Resounded far and near:

Methought, the very breath I breathed

Was full of sparks divine,

And all my heather-couch was wreathed

By that celestial shine!

And, while the wide earth echoing rung

To their strange minstrelsy,

The little glittering spirits sung,

Or seemed to sing, to me.

"O mortal! mortal! let them die;

Let time and tears destroy,

That we may overflow the sky

With universal joy!

Let grief distract the sufferer's breast,

And night obscure his way;

They hasten him to endless rest,

And everlasting day.

To thee the world is like a tomb,

A desert's naked shore;

To us, in unimagined bloom,
