Excerpt from My Sonnets

Then fancy, as religion, loved to fill The earth with Shapes of beauty in the air, In the blue foaming sea, dwelt shapes as fair AS their Sweet dwellings. Lingering shadows still Haunt with their presence many a Grecian hill, Making the lovely lovelier. None are there To bow in their majestic temples; ne'er, With choral song and linked dance, to kill The stately flower-enwreathed milk-white steer, N ow godlike youths and daughters of the earth Go bounding up, awe shadowing, as near The porch the long procession draws, their mirth. 0 fair belief, though reason scoffs at thee, Still thou the poet's faith must ever be.
