most delicate ariel! submissive thing,

won by the mind’s high magic to its hest —

invisible embassy, or secret guest —

weighing the light air on a lighter wing; —

whether into the midnight moon, to bring

illuminate visions to the eye of rest —

or rich romances from the florid west —

or to the sea, for mystic whispering —

still by thy charm’d allegiance to the will,

the fruitful wishes prosper in the brain,

as by the fingering of fairy skill —

moonlight, and waters, and soft music’s strain,

odors, and blooms, and my miranda’s smile,

making this dull world an enchanted isle.
