SONG OF LE VERRIER
ON DISCOVERING A NEW PLANET.
I.
Circling the Cyclic-chorus of the spheres,Sphering the Epicycle of his song—
He sings his anthems, through th' eternal years,
Outside the orb-paths of th' Empyreal throng.
II.
Floating in chariot of celestial fire,Sphered Heavenward through th' Empyreal Ether-Sea,
He rays his sphere-tones out unto the choir
Of God until they fill Eternity.
III.
Tempestuous whirlwinds of deep melodyDash from his orb-prow on his spheric road—
Rolling in mountain-billows on Heaven's sea
Against the white shore of the feet of God.
IV.
Shouting Excelsior to the starry choirFlooded with rapture, now he Heavenward rolls,
Glinting those golden tones of lightning-fire
Proceeding swiftly from the Angels' souls.
