 | Tasso and the Sisters |  |
Oh, Heaven! how beauteous is the glow
Which Morning on thy front doth throw;
When sky and earth and air and sea
Breathe incense and divinity!
But far more beautiful the tint
Which Midnight on thy brow doth print;
When moon and stars, divinely fair,
Glitter in all their grandeur there,
And Earth beneath thy face lies spread,
Tranquil as thou art overhead!
Which Morning on thy front doth throw;
When sky and earth and air and sea
Breathe incense and divinity!
But far more beautiful the tint
Which Midnight on thy brow doth print;
When moon and stars, divinely fair,
Glitter in all their grandeur there,
And Earth beneath thy face lies spread,
Tranquil as thou art overhead!
