Excerpt from Poems From the Greek Mythology: And Miscellaneous Poems From elm to elm, hanging in middle air Their amethystine fruitage - clustering globes Andavhen the day was done, I sang blithe hymns, Crowning myself a victor o'er his toils With roses crimson-soul'd and ivy dark And I was happy. But at length a change Crept over me. The joys that once had been Ample and deep, seem'd tame and in their place Grew up a mighty vagueness, which, like shade From passing clouds o'er sunlit lands, made blank Field after field of brilliance. Sadness fell Upon my soul, and it was desolate, - dark And rising sense of power, that might have stood On Jove's cerulean battlements alone.
