I

In youth I have known one with whom the Earth

In secret communing heldвБ†вАФas he with it,

In daylight, and in beauty, from his birth:

Whose fervid, flickering torch of life was lit

From the sun and stars, whence he had drawn forth

A passionate light such for his spirit was fitвБ†вАФ

And yet that spirit knewвБ†вАФnot in the hour

Of its own fervorвБ†вАФwhat had oвАЩer it power.
