"The sunbeams are my shafts with which I kill Deceit, that loves the night and fears the day; All men who do or even imagine ill Fly me, and from the glory of my ray Good minds and open actions take new might Until diminished by the reign of night. "I feed the clouds, the rainbows, and the flowers With their ethereal colours; the moon's globe And the pure stars in their eternal bowers Are cinctured with my power as with a robe; Whatever lamps on Earth or Heaven may shine Are portions of one pow...er, which is mine. 178 Sun Lore of All Ages "I stand at noon upon the peak of Heaven, Then with unwilling steps I wander down Into the clouds of the Atlantic even; For grief that I depart they weep and frown. What look is more delightful than the smile With which I soothe them from the western isle? "I am the eye with which the Universe Beholds itself and knows itself divine; All harmony of instrument or verse, All prophecy, all medicine are mine, All light of Art or Nature; to my song Victory and praise in their own right belong."
