Sacred Goddess, Mother Earth : 
See yon opening flower : 
Serene in his unconquerable might : 
Shall we roam, my love : 
She comes not; yet I left her even now : 
She left me at the silent time : 
She saw me not—­she heard me not—­alone : 
She was an aged woman; and the years : 
Silence!  Oh, well are Death and Sleep and Thou : 
Silver key of the fountain of tears : 
Sing, Muse, the son of Maia and of Jove : 
Sleep, sleep on! forget thy pain : 
So now my summer task is ended, Mary : 
So we sate joyous as the morning ray : 
Stern, stern is the voice of fate’s fearful command : 
Such hope, as is the sick despair of good : 
Such was Zonoras; and as daylight finds : 
Summer was dead and Autumn was expiring : 
Sweet Spirit!  Sister of that orphan one : 
Sweet star, which gleaming o’er the darksome scene : 
Swift as a spirit hastening to his task : 
Swifter far than summer’s flight : 
Swiftly walk o’er the western wave : 

Tell me, thou Star, whose wings of light : 
That matter of the murder is hushed up : 
That night we anchored in a woody bay : 
That time is dead for ever, child! : 
The awful shadow of some unseen Power : 
The babe is at peace within the womb : 
The billows on the beach are leaping around it : 
The cold earth slept below : 
The curtain of the Universe : 
The death-bell beats! : 
The death knell is ringing : 
The Devil, I safely can aver : 
The Devil now knew his proper cue : 
The Elements respect their Maker’s seal! : 
The everlasting universe of things : 
The fierce beasts of the woods and wildernesses : 
The fiery mountains answer each other : 
The fitful alternations of the rain : 
The flower that smiles to-day : 
The fountains mingle with the river : 
The gentleness of rain was in the wind : 
The golden gates of Sleep unbar : 
The joy, the triumph, the delight, the madness : 
The keen stars were twinkling : 
The odour from the flower is gone : 
The old man took the oars, and soon the bark : 
The pale stars are gone : 
The pale stars of the morn : 
The pale, the cold, and the moony smile : 
The path through which that lovely twain : 
The rose that drinks the fountain dew : 
The rude wind is singing : 
The season was the childhood of sweet June : 
The serpent is shut out from Paradise : 
The sleepless Hours who watch me as I lie : 
The spider spreads her webs, whether she be : 
The starlight smile of children, the sweet looks : 
The stars may dissolve, and the fountain of light : 
The sun is set; the swallows are asleep : 
The sun is warm, the sky is clear : 
The sun makes music as of old : 
The transport of a fierce and monstrous gladness : 
The viewless and invisible Consequence : 
The voice of the Spirits of Air and of Earth : 
The warm sun is failing, the bleak wind is wailing
