THEME.
" What shall my song rehearse ? " I said To a wise bard, whose hoary head Is bowed, like Kearsarge crouching low Beneath a winter weight of snow^ But whose songs of passion, joy, or scorn, Within a fiery heart are born.
" What can I spread, what proper feast For these young Magi of the East ?
What wisdom find, what mystic lore, What chant they have not heard before ?
Strange words of old has every tongue Those happy cloistered hills among ; For each riddle... I divine They can answer me with nine ; Their footsteps by the Muse are led.
Their lips on Plato'« honey fed ; Their eyes have skill to read the page Of Theban bard or Attic sage ; ** For them all Nature's mysteries, — The deep-down secrets of the seas.
The cyclone's whirl, the lightning's shock.
The language of the riven rock ; They know the starry sisters seven, — Digitized by Google 312 OCCASIONAL POEMS.
What clouds the molten suns enfold, And all the golden woof of heaven Unravelled in their lens behold !
