The Moon.

CCOME, light-foot Lady! from thy vaporous hall,And, with a silver-swim into the air,Shine down the starry cressets one and allFrom Pleiades to golden Jupiter!I see a growing tip of silver peepAbove the full-fed cloud, and lo! with motionOf queenly stateliness, and smooth as sleep,She glides into the blue for my devotion.O sovran Beauty! standing here aloneUnder the insufferable infinite,I worship with dazed eyes and feeble moanThy lucid persecution of delight.Come, cloudy dimness! Dip, fair dream, again!O God! I cannot gaze, for utter pain.
