The sanguine Sunrise, with his meteor eyes,
And his burning plumes outspread,
Leaps on the back of my sailing rack,
When the morning star shines dead;
As on the jag of a mountain crag,
Which an earthquake rocks and swings,
An eagle alit one moment may sit
In the light of its golden wings.
(The Cloud)

From the depth of Heaven above,

As still as a brooding dove.

A hope which is now forever past,
A love so sweet it could not last,

For three short years, which soon were passed.

Out of thy sleep, and slake, in thy heart's core,
A wound more fierce than his, with tears and sighs.
