ISRAFEL*
IN Heaven a spirit doth dwell
;Whose heart´strings are a lute�察�
None sing so wildly well
As the angel Israfel��
And the giddy stars ��so legends tell��
Ceasing their hymns�察�attend the spell
Of his voice�察�all mute。
Tottering above
In her highest noon
The enamoured moon
Blushes with love��
While�察�to listen�察�the red levin
��With the rapid Pleiads�察�even��
Which were seven�撮�
Pauses in Heaven
And they say ��the starry choir
And all the listening things��
That Israfeli's fire
Is owing to that lyre
By which he sits and sings ´
The trembling living wire
Of those unusual strings。
* And the angel Israfel�察�whose heart´strings are a lut�察�and who has the
sweetest voice of all God's creatures。 ´ KORAN。
But the skies that angel trod��
Where deep thoughts are a duty ´
Where Love's a grown up God ´
Where the Houri glances are
Imbued with all the beauty
Which we worship in a star。
Therefore�察�thou art not wrong��
Israfeli�察�who despisest
An unimpassion'd song��
To thee the laurels belong
Best bard�察�because the wisest��
Merrily live�察�and long��
The extacies above
With thy burning measures suit ´
Thy grief�察�thy joy�察�thy hate�察�thy love��
With the fervor of thy lute ´
Well may the stars be mute��
Yes�察�Heaven is thine�察�but this
Is a world of sweets and sours��
Our flowers are merely ´ flowers��
And the shadow of thy perfect bliss
Is the sunshine of ours。
If I could dwell
Where Israfel
Hath dwelt�察�and he where I��
He might not sing so wildly well
A mortal melody��
While a bolder note than this might swell
From my lyre within the sky。

TO ´ ´
1
The bowers whereat�察�in dreams�察�I see
The wantonest singing birds
Are lips ´ and all thy melody
Of lip´begotten words ´
2
Thine eyes�察�in Heaven of heart enshrin'd
Then desolately fall��
O� �God� �on my funereal mind
Like starlight on a pall ´
3
Thy heart ´ _thy_ heart� � I wake and sigh��
And sleep to dream till day
Of truth that gold can never buy ´
Of the trifles that it may。

TO ´
I HEED not that my earthly lot
Hath´little of Earth in it
That years of love have been forgot
In the hatred of a minute��
I mourn not that the desolate
Are happier�察�sweet�察�than I��
But that you sorrow for my fate
Who am a passer´by。
1829。
TO THE RIVER
FAIR river� �in thy bright�察�clear flow
Of crystal�察�wandering water��
Thou art an emblem of the glow
Of beauty ´ the unhidden heart ´
The playful maziness of art
In old Alberto's daughter��
But when within thy wave she looks ´
Which glistens then�察�and trembles ´
Why�察�then�察�the prettiest of brooks
Her worshipper resembles��
For in my heart�察�as in thy stream��
Her image deeply lies ´
His heart which trembles at the beam
Of her soul´searching eyes。

SONG
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I SAW thee on thy bridal day ´
When a burning blush came o'er thee��
Though happiness around thee lay��
The world all love before thee��
And in thine eye a kindling light
��Whatever it might be��
Was all on Earth my aching sight
Of Loveliness could see。
That blush�察�perhaps�察�was maiden shame ´
As such it well may pass ´
Though its glow hath raised a fiercer flame
In the breast of him�察�alas��
Who saw thee on that bridal day��
When that deep blush _would_ come o'er thee��
Though happiness around thee lay��
The world all love before thee。

SPIRITS OF THE DEAD
1
Thy soul shall find itself alone
'Mid dark thoughts of the grey tomb´stone ´
Not one�察�of all the crowd�察�to pry
Into thine hour of secrecy��
2
Be silent in that solitude
Which is not loneliness ´ for then
The spirits of the dead who stood
In life before thee are again
In death around thee ´ and their will
Shall then overshadow thee�此�be still。
3
For the night ´ tho' clear ´ shall frown ´
And the stars shall look not down��
From their high thrones in the Heaven��
With light like Hope to mortals given ´
But their red orbs�察�without beam��
To thy weariness shall seem
As a burning and a fever
Which would cling to thee for ever ��
4
Now are thoughts thou shalt not banish ´
Now are visions ne'er to vanish ´
From thy spirit shall they pass
No more ´ like dew´drop from the grass��
5
The breeze ´ the breath of God ´ is still ´
And the mist upon the hill
Shadowy ´ shadowy ´ yet unbroken��
Is a symbol and a token ´
How it hangs upon the trees��
A mystery of mysteries� �

A DREAM
In visions of the dark night
I have dreamed of joy departed
But a waking dreams of life and light
Hath left me broken´hearted。
Ah� �what is not a dream by day
To him whose eyes are cast
On things around him with a ray
Turned back upon the past��
That holy dream that holy dream��
While all the world were chiding��
Hath cheered me as a lovely beam
A lonely spirit guiding。
What though that light�察�thro' storm and night��
So trembled from afar´
What could there be more purely bright
In Truths day´star ��

ROMANCE
ROMANCE�察�who loves to nod and sing��
With drowsy head and folded wing��
Among the green leaves as they shake
Far down within some shadowy lake��
To me a painted paroquet
Hath been ´ a most familiar bird ´
Taught me my alphabet to say ´
To lisp my very earliest word
While in the wild wood I did lie��
A child ´ with a most knowing eye。
Of late�察�eternal Condor years
So shake the very Heaven on high
With tumult as they thunder by��
I have no time for idle cares
Through gazing on the unquiet sky。
And when an hour with calmer wings
Its down upon thy spirit flings ´
That little time with lyre and rhyme
To while away ´ forbidden things��
My heart would feel to be a crime
Unless it trembled with the strings。

FAIRY´LAND
DIM vales ´ and shadowy floods ´
And cloudy´looking woods��
Whose forms we can't discover
For the tears that drip all over
Huge moons there wax and wane ´
Again ´ again ´ again ´
Every moment of the night ´
Forever changing places ´
And they put out the star´light
With the breath from their pale faces。
About twelve by the moon´dial
One�察�more filmy than the rest
��A kind which�察�upon trial��
They have found to be the best��
Comes down ´ still down ´ and down
With its centre on the crown
Of a mountain's eminence��
While its wide circumference
In easy drapery falls
Over hamlets�察�over halls��
Wherever they may be ´
O'er the strange woods ´ o'er the sea ´
Over spirits on the wing ´
Over every drowsy thing ´
And buries them up quite
In a labyrinth of light ´
And then�察�how deep� � O�察�deep��
Is the passion of their sleep。
In the morning they arise��
And their moony covering
Is soaring in the skies��
With the tempests as they toss��
Like almost any thing ´
Or a yellow Albatross。
They use that moon no more
For the same end as before ´
Videlicet a tent ´
Which I think extravagant��
Its atomies�察�however��
Into a shower dissever��
Of which those butterflies��
Of Earth�察�who seek the skies��
And so come down again
��Never´contented things�。�
Have brought a specimen
Upon their quivering wings。

THE LAKE TO
IN spring of youth it was my lot
To haunt of the wide earth a spot
The which I could not love the less
So lovely was the loneliness
Of a wild lake�察�with black rock bound��
And the tall pines that tower'd around。
But when the Night had thrown her pall
Upon that spot�察�as upon all��
And the mystic wind went by
Murmuring in melody
Then ah then I would awake
To the terror of the lone lake。
Yet that terror was not fright��
But a tremulous delight
A feeling not the jewelled mine
Could teach or bribe me to define
Nor Love although the Love were thine。
Death was in that poisonous wave��
And in its gulf a fitting grave
For him who thence could solace bring
To his lone imagining
Whose solitary soul could make
An Eden of that dim lake。

EVENING STAR
'TWAS noontide of summer��
And midtime of night��
And stars�察�in their orbits��
Shone pale�察�through the light
Of the brighter�察�cold moon。
'Mid planets her slaves��
Herself in the Heavens��
Her beam on the waves。
I gazed awhile
On her cold smile��
Too cold´too cold for me
There passed�察�as a shroud��
A fleecy cloud��
And I turned away to thee��
Proud Evening Star��
In thy glory afar
And dearer thy beam shall be��
For joy to my heart
Is the proud part
Thou bearest in Heaven at night。��
And more I admire
Thy distant fire��
Than that colder�察�lowly light。

;THE HAPPIEST DAY。;
I
THE happiest day´the happiest hour
My seared and blighted heart hath known��
The highest hope of pride and power��
I feel hath flown。
Of power� �said I�拭�Yes� �such I ween
But they have vanished long�察�alas��
The visions of my youth have been
But let them pass。
III
And pride�察�what have I now with thee��
Another brow may ev'n inherit
The venom thou hast poured on me
Be still my spirit��
IV
The happiest day´the happiest hour
Mine eyes shall see´have ever seen
The brightest glance of pride and power
I feet have been��
V
But were that hope of pride and power
Now offered with the pain
Ev'n _then I _felt´that brightest hour
I would not live again��
VI
For on its wing was dark alloy
And as it fluttered´fell
An essence´powerful to destroy
A soul that knew it well。
