Not illustrated. 1910 Excerpt: ... A VASE. Composed 1829--Published 1885. The soaring lark is blest as proud When at heaven's gate she sings; The roving bee proclaims aloud Her flight by vocal wings; While Ye, in lasting durance pent, 5 Your silent lives employ For something more than dull content, Though haply less than joy. Yet might your glassy prison seem A place where joy is known, 10 Where golden flash and silver gleam Have meanings of their own; While, high and low, and all about. Your motions, glittering Elves! Ye weave--no danger from without, 15 And peace among yourselves. Type of a sunny human breast Is your transparent cell; Where Fear is but a transient guest, No sullen Humours dwell-; 20 Where, sensitive of every ray That smites this tiny sea, Your scaly panoplies repay The loan with usury. How beautiful!--Yet none knows why 25 This ever-graceful change. Renewed--renewed incessantly--Within your quiet range.

Ah! not alone by colours bright 45 Are Ye to heaven allied, When, like essential Forms of light. Ye mingle, or divide. For day-dreams soft as e'er beguiled Day-thoughts while limbs repose; 50 For moonlight fascinations mild. Your gift, ere shutters closer--Accept, mute Captives 1 thanks and praise; And may this tribute prove That gentle admirations raise 5 Delight resembling ...
