— Would you hear ? Then let your breath be hush'd, and bend your ear, For he that made it hath the wizard's power. To call up images that shriek and lower, From hidden caves, and graves, and dens afar ; His sovereign art commands them, and they are ! IMAGINATION. He is a god who wills it^ — with a power • To work his purpose out in earth and air. Though neither speak him fair ! — So may he pluck from earth its precious flower. And in the ether choose a spirit rare. To serve him deftly in some o...ther sphere ; — And thus it is that I have will'd this hour. And thou hast heard me, and thy form is here ! Creature of wing and eye. That, singing, seek'st the sky. And soar'st because thou sing'st, and singing, still must fly ; Believe me, though I know not mine own voice, I see thee, and before thee I rejoice ; Thou, precious in both worlds, with thy sole choice In ours, I bless thee that I knew thee first, Digitized by VjOOQIC AND PICTURES. 253 Ere, in the dawn of mortal joys, my heart, Low-fashion'd by its fond caprice and art.
