        From out the middle air; from flowery nests;

        And from the pillowy silkiness that rests

        Full in the speculation of the stars。

        Ah! surely he had burst our mortal bars;

        Into some wond'rous region he had gone;

        To search for thee; divine Endymion!



        He was a Poet; sure a lover too;

        Who stood on Latmus' top; what time there blew

        Soft breezes from the myrtle vale below;

        And brought in faintness solemn; sweet; and slow

        A hymn from Dian's temple; while upswelling;

        The incense went to her own starry dwelling。

        But though her face was clear as infant's eyes;

        Though she stood smiling o'er the sacrifice;

        The Poet wept at her so piteous fate;

        Wept that such beauty should be desolate:

        So in fine wrath some golden sounds he won;

        And gave meek Cynthia her Endymion。



        Queen of the wide air; thou most lovely queen

        Of all the brightness that mine eyes have seen!

        As thou exceedest all things in thy shine;

        So every tale; does this sweet tale of thine。

        O for three words of honey; that I might

        Tell but one wonder of thy bridal night!



        Where distant ships do seem to show their keels;

        Phoebus awhile delay'd his mighty wheels;

        And turn'd to smile upon thy bashful eyes;

        Ere he his unseen pomp would solemnize。

        The evening weather was so bright; and clear;

        That men of health were of unusual cheer;

        Stepping like Homer at the trumpet's call;

        Or young Apollo on the pedestal:

        And lovely women were as fair and warm;

        As Venus looking sideways in alarm。

        The breezes were ethereal; and pure;

        And crept through half…closed lattices to cure

        The languid sick; it cool'd their fever'd sleep;

        And soothed them into slumbers full and deep。

        Soon they awoke clear eyed: nor burnt with thirsting;

        Nor with hot fingers; nor with temples bursting:

        And springing up; they met the wond'ring sight

        Of their dear friends; nigh foolish with delight;

        Who feel their arms; and breasts; and kiss and stare;

        And on their placid foreheads part the hair。

        Young men; and maidens at each other gaz'd

        With hands held back; and motionless; amaz'd

        To see the brightness in each other's eyes;

        And so they stood; fill'd with a sweet surprise;

        Until their tongues were loos'd in poesy。

        Therefore no lover did of anguish die:

        But the soft numbers; in that moment spoken;

        Made silken ties; that never may be broken。

        Cynthia! I cannot tell the greater blisses;

        That follow'd thine; and thy dear shepherd's kisses:

        Was there a poet born?… but now no more;

        My wand'ring spirit must no further soar。…





                        THE END
