Israfel. *

5		I. In Heaven a spirit doth dwell Whose heart-strings are a lute – None sing so wild – so well As the angel Israfel – And the giddy stars are mute.
10		II. Tottering above In her highest noon The enamoured moon Blushes with love – While, to listen, the red levin
15		Pauses in Heaven. III. [44] And they say (the starry choir And all the listening things) That Israfeli's fire Is owing to that lyre
20		With those unusual strings. IV. But the Heavens that angel trod Where deep thoughts are a duty – Where Love is a grown god – Where Houri glances are
25		– Stay! turn thine eyes afar! – Imbued with all the beauty Which we worship in yon star. V. Thou art not, therefore, wrong Israfeli, who despisest
30		An unimpassion'd song: To thee the laurels belong Best bard, – because the wisest. VI. [45] The extacies above With thy burning measures suit –
35		Thy grief – if any – thy love With the fervor of thy lute – Well may the stars be mute! VII. Yes, Heaven is thine: but this Is a world of sweets and sours:
40		Our flowers are merely – flowers, And the shadow of thy bliss Is the sunshine of ours. VIII. If I did dwell where Israfel Hath dwelt, and he where I,
		He would not sing one half as well – One half as passionately, And a stormier note than this would swell From my lyre within the sky.
