Light in the air, and motion on the earth. The May of History blossoms at the birth I When soft returning, with a sweet surprise Spring's first green morning greets our gladdened How doth the landscape, quickening on the- sight, Transfuse our being with a subtler light ! The soul delighted, breathes its own perfumes,. So bud the thoughts, and so the spirit blooms ! Not less the Grecian, when his beauteous home- Rose, fresh as Venus, from the sparkling foam. Found, in the secret of his soul's de...light, A fairer world than met his sensual sight ; In changing radiance changeless Light he- found. Eternal voices in a fleeting sound ; Poured out to Nature all his passionate heart. And Nature, smiling, blessed his love with Art I Happy the bard, in those delicious days, When Greece, enamoured, hung upon his lays. And the strong race, rejoicing in the sun. Thrilled to all passions, frowning upon none I Or if the rage of Troy's heroic time. Ring through his soul and rouse him into rhyme ;, 10 Or if he follow with admiring eyes The varying fates that make the wanderer wise; Or statelier treading the pathetic stage Bid Love and Sorrow moralize the age : Or light the Nation with the lyric fire, And with the Ode Ambition's self inspire ; Or softly singing in the pastoral vale See dove-eyed maidens pensive with the tale ; By turns as rapid, the impetuous throng Sway to the impulse of his genuine song I Nor pleads the poet in his words alone.
