Soliloquizing softly to a wine and sapphire sky,
I dreamt I scales those serried summits,
Mind and heaven harmonized

Ere long, my feelings blossomed,
And again they did recede
Aery undulations, to a sordid flame do lead

For as the twilight strips away
The radiant raiment worn by day
Time, that thief of life
Is sure to steal from me my youth
