The Aurora Borealis + 

Now have I grown a sharpness and an edge + 

Unto my future nights, and I will cut + 

Sheer through the ebon gates that yet will shut + 

On every set of day; or as a sledge + 

Drawn over snowy plains; where not a hedge + 

Breaks this Aurora’s dancing, nothing but + 

The one cold Eskimos’ unlikely hut + 

That swims in the broad moonlight! Lo, a wedge + 

Of the clean meteor hath been brightly driven + 

Right home into the fastness of the north! + 

Anon it quickeneth up into the heaven! + 

And I with it have clomb and spreaded forth + 

Upon the crisp and cooling atmosphere! + 

My soul is all abroad: I cannot find it here! + 
