/ 1. Soul of my body! what a death / For such a day of envious gloom, / Unbroken passion of the sky! / As if the pure, kind-hearted breath / Of some soft power, ever nigh, / Had, cleaving in the bitter sheath, / Burst from its grave a gorgeous bloom.
/ 2. The majesty of clouds that swarm. / Expanding in a furious length / Of molten-metal petals, flows / Unutterable, and where the warm, / Full fire is centered, swims and glows / The evening star fresh-faced with strength, / A shimmering rain-drop of the storm.
