A FLOATING, fleecy cloud of poesy
Swept o'er my soul, and broke in dulcet song;
The music rose and fell in rhythmic flow,
By prattling echo lightly borne along—
With love the theme, love over all supreme,
The light of every heart, the poet's dream.

Will other clouds of poesy arise
Like haloes round my head, or misty veil?
Or will they drift afar, like summer clouds,
Nor heed the yearning cry, the pleading wail!—
On wings aerial sailing swiftly by,
Like phantom ships to reach the upper sky.
