Child of the sun ! pursue thy r.apturous flight, 

 Mingling with her thou lov'st in fields of light; 

 And, where the flowers of Paradise unfold, 

 Quart' fragrant nectar from their cups of gold. 

 There shiill thy wings, rich as an evening-sky, 

 Expand and shut with silent ecstasy I 

 — Yet wert thou once a worm, a thing that crept 

 On the bare earth, then wrought a tomb and slept. 

 And such is man ; soon from his cell of clay 

 To burst a seraph in the blaze of day 1
