SHELLEY
Eagle of Song, whence came such strength to thee,
On spacious air launched forth with strenuous wing
Thus effortless to glide on voyaging
O'er earth's domain and the unfooted sea?
Or from Light's portal inaccessibly
The lyric torrent of thy soul to fling,
With music of the skies discomfiting
Earth's little choristers of lawn and lea?
Phœbus unfold, for surely not without
Some gracious aid it pleased thee to extend,
To altitude so vast did Shelley rise.
I hope so, says Apollo, but I doubt.
Myself in rivalry a lay have penned,
But have not published, and therein was wise.
