IMITATION

A dark unfathom'd tide
Of interminable pride ´
A mystery�察�and a dream��
Should my early life seem��
I say that dream was fraught
With a wild�察�and waking thought
Of beings that have been��
Which my spirit hath not seen��
Had I let them pass me by��
With a dreaming eye��
Let none of earth inherit
That vision on my spirit��
Those thoughts I would control
As a spell upon his soul��
For that bright hope at last
And that light time have past��
And my worldly rest hath gone
With a sigh as it pass'd on
I care not tho' it perish
With a thought I then did cherish。

_Translation from the Greek_

HYMN TO ARISTOGE1TON AND HARMODIUS

           I

WREATHED in myrtle�察�my sword I'll conceal
Like those champions devoted and brave��
When they plunged in the tyrant their steel��
And to Athens deliverance gave。

           II

Beloved heroes� �your deathless souls roam
In the joy breathing isles of the blest��
Where the mighty of old have their home
Where Achilles and Diomed rest

           III

In fresh myrtle my blade I'll entwine��
Like Harmodius�察�the gallant and good��
When he made at the tutelar shrine
A libation of Tyranny's blood。

           IV

Ye deliverers of Athens from shame��
Ye avengers of Liberty's wrongs��
Endless ages shall cherish your fame��
Embalmed in their echoing songs��

              DREAMS

Oh� �that my young life were a lasting dream��
My spirit not awak'ning�察�till the beam
Of an Eternity should bring the morrow��
Yes� �tho' that long dream were of hopeless sorrow��
'Twere better than the dull reality
Of waking life to him whose heart shall be��
And hath been ever�察�on the chilly earth��
A chaos of deep passion from his birth ��

But should it be ´ that dream eternally
Continuing ´ as dreams have been to me
In my young boyhood ´ should it thus be given��
'Twere folly still to hope for higher Heaven��
For I have revell'd�察�when the sun was bright
In the summer sky�察�in dreamy fields of light��
And left unheedingly my very heart
In climes of mine imagining ´ apart
From mine own home�察�with beings that have been
Of mine own thought ´ what more could I have seen��

'Twas once & _only_ once & the wild hour
From my rememberance shall not pass ´ some power
Or spell had bound me ´ 'twas the chilly wind
Came o'er me in the night & left behind
Its image on my spirit�察�or the moon
Shone on my slumbers in her lofty noon
Too coldly ´ or the stars ´ howe'er it was
That dream was as that night wind ´ let it pass。

I have been happy ´ tho' but in a dream
I have been happy ´ & I love the theme ´
Dreams� �in their vivid colouring of life ´
As in that fleeting�察�shadowy�察�misty strife
Of semblance with reality which brings
To the delirious eye more lovely things
Of Paradise & Love ´ & all our own��
Than young Hope in his sunniest hour hath known。

;IN YOUTH I HAVE KNOWN ONE;

_How often we forget all time�察�when lone
Admiring Nature's universal throne��
Her woodsher wildsher mountains´the intense
Reply of Hers to Our intelligence��_

I                       I

IN youth I have known one with whom the Earth
    In secret communing held´as he with it��
In daylight�察�and in beauty�察�from his birth��
    Whose fervid�察�flickering torch of life was lit
From the sun and stars�察�whence he had drawn forth
    A passionate light such for his spirit was fit
And yet that spirit knew´not in the hour
    Of its own fervor´what had o'er it power。

                       II

Perhaps it may be that my mind is wrought
    To a fever* by the moonbeam that hangs o'er��
But I will half believe that wild light fraught
    With more of sovereignty than ancient lore
Hath ever told´or is it of a thought
    The unembodied essence�察�and no more
That with a quickening spell doth o'er us pass
    As dew of the night´time�察�o'er the summer grass��

                              III

Doth o'er us pass�察�when�察�as th' expanding eye
    To the loved object´so the tear to the lid
Will start�察�which lately slept in apathy��
    And yet it need not be´��that object�� hid
From us in life´but common´which doth lie
    Each hour before usbut then only bid
With a strange sound�察�as of a harp´string broken
    T' awake us'Tis a symbol and a token

                          IV

Of what in other worlds shall beand given
    In beauty by our God�察�to those alone
Who otherwise would fall from life and Heaven
    Drawn by their heart's passion�察�and that tone��
That high tone of the spirit which hath striven
    Though not with Faith´with godlinesswhose throne
With desperate energy 't hath beaten down��
    Wearing its own deep feeling as a crown。

* Query ;fervor;��ED。



        A P�AN。

                       I。

How shall the burial rite be read��
    The solemn song be sung ��
The requiem for the loveliest dead��
    That ever died so young��

                    II。

Her friends are gazing on her��
    And on her gaudy bier��
And weep �  � oh� �to dishonor
    Dead beauty with a tear��

                   III。

They loved her for her wealth ´
    And they hated her for her pride ´
But she grew in feeble health��
    And they _love_ her ´ that she died。

                  IV。

They tell me ��while they speak
    Of her ;costly broider'd pall;��
That my voice is growing weak ´
    That I should not sing at all ´

                   V。

Or that my tone should be
    Tun'd to such solemn song
So mournfully ´ so mournfully��
    That the dead may feel no wrong。

                  VI。

But she is gone above��
    With young Hope at her side��
And I am drunk with love
    Of the dead�察�who is my bride。 ´

                 VII。

Of the dead ´ dead who lies
    All perfum'd there��
With the death upon her eyes��
    And the life upon her hair。

                VIII。

Thus on the coffin loud and long
    I strike ´ the murmur sent
Through the grey chambers to my song��
    Shall be the accompaniment。

                 IX。

Thou died'st in thy life's June ´
    But thou did'st not die too fair��
Thou did'st not die too soon��
    Nor with too calm an air。

                  X。

From more than fiends on earth��
    Thy life and love are riven��
To join the untainted mirth
    Of more than thrones in heaven ´

                 XII。

Therefore�察�to thee this night
    I will no requiem raise��
But waft thee on thy flight��
    With a P�an of old days。

NOTES

30。 On the ;Poems written in Youth; little comment is needed。 This section
includes the pieces printed for first volume of 1827 ��which was
subsequently suppressed���察�such poems from the first and second published
volumes of 1829 and 1831 as have not already been given in their revised
versions�察�and a few others collected from various sources。 ;Al Aaraaf;
first appeared�察�with the sonnet ;To Silence; prefixed to it�察�in 1829�察�and
is�察�substantially�察�as originally issued。 In the edition for 1831�察�however��
this poem�察�its author's longest�察�was introduced by the following
twenty´nine lines�察�which have been omitted in ´all subsequent collections��

AL AARAAF

Mysterious star��
Thou wert my dream
All a long summer night
Be now my theme��
By this clear stream��
Of thee will I write��
Meantime from afar
Bathe me in light I

Thy world has not the dross of ours��
Yet all the beauty´all the flowers
That list our love or deck our bowers
In dreamy gardens�察�where do lie
Dreamy maidens all the day��
While the silver winds of Circassy
On violet couches faint away。
Little´oh I little dwells in thee11
Like unto what on earth we see��
Beauty's eye is here the bluest
In the falsest and untruestOn the sweetest
air doth float
The most sad and solemn note

If with thee be broken hearts��
Joy so peacefully departs��
That its echo still doth dwell��
Like the murmur in the shell。
Thou� �thy truest type of grief
Is the gently falling leafThou��
Thy framing is so holy
Sorrow is not melancholy。

31。 The earliest version of ;Tamerlane; was included in the suppressed
volume of 1827�察�but differs very considerably from the poem as now
published。 The present draft�察�besides innumerable verbal alterations and
improvements upon the original�察�is more carefully punctuated�察�and�察�the
lines being indented�察�presents a more pleasing appearance�察�to the eye at
least。

32。 ;To Helen; first appeared in the 1831 volume�察�as did also ;The Valley
of Unrest; ��as ;The Valley Nis;���察 �Israfel�察─�and one or two others of the
youthful pieces。 The poem styled ;Romance�察─�constituted the Preface of the
1829 volume�察�but with the addition of the following lines��

Succeeding years�察�too wild for song��
Then rolled like tropic storms along��
Where�察�through the garish lights that fly
Dying along the troubled sky��
Lay bare�察�through vistas thunder´riven��
The blackness of the general Heaven��
That very blackness yet doth Ring
Light on the lightning's silver wing。

For being an idle boy lang syne��
Who read Anacreon and drank wine��
I early found Anacreon rhymes
Were almost passionate sometimes
And by strange alchemy of brain
His pleasures always turned to pain
His naivet��to wild desire
His wit to love´his wine to fire
And so�察�being young and dipt in folly��
I fell in love with melancholy��

And used to throw my earthly rest
And quiet all away in jest
I could not love except where Death
Was mingling his with Beauty's breath
Or Hymen�察�Time�察�and Destiny��
Were stalking between her and me。

。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。

But now my soul hath too much room
Gone are the glory and the gloom
The black hath mellow'd into gray��
And all the fires are fading away。

My draught of passion hath been deep
I revell'd�察�and I now would sleep
And after drunkenness of soul
Succeeds the glories of the bowl
An idle longing night and day
To dream my very life away。

But dreamsof those who dream as I��
Aspiringly�察�are damned�察�and die��
Yet should I swear I mean alone��
By notes so very shrilly blown��
To break upon Time's monotone��
While
