With mellow ray, thou blushing queen of night, As if in air, and yet on nothing hung Where hands divine thee in thine orbit flung, Impelled, sustained, enlivened by the might Of that one voice which erst commanded light From darkness forth to spring, and in thy young Complaisant face to shine as when was sung Creation's song when Chaos took its flight. Dost welcome come; and well does thy mild face The pensive spirit soothe with gentle beam, When Sol has left his flaming mid-day throne; And wearied man, still pressing in life's race For riches, fame and pow'r, and what may seem His earthly all, must thy soft influence own.
