MOST delicate Ariel! submissive thing, Won by the mind's high magic to its hest, -- Invisible embassy, or secret guest, -- Weighing the light air on a lighter wing; -- Whether into the midnight moon, to bring Illuminate visions to the eye of rest, -- Or rich romances from the florid West, -- Or to the sea, for mystic whispering, -- Still by thy charmed allegiance to the will, The fruitful wishes prosper in the brain, As by the fingering of fairy skill, -- Moonlight, and waters, and soft music's strain Odours, and blooms, and @3my@1 Miranda's smile, Making this dull world an enchanted isle. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONNET by GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS THE LAKE (VERSION 2) by EDGAR ALLAN POE WINTER RAIN by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI SONGS OF TRAVEL: 2.
