unblest

Penah yon mountain’s ever beauteous brow ;

But now, as if a thing unblest by man,

Thy fairy dwelling is as lone as thou !

“Now mark! I, being fevered, sick,

(Most unblest also), at that sight

Brake forth, and cursed them--dost thou hear?--

"We fain would clasp the Phantom to our breast,

"The Phantom flies, and leaves the soul unblest."

'Now, deceived, thou wanderest

In strange lands unblest;

And my kindred come to soothe me.

Too credulous lover

Of blest and unblest?

Say when in lapsed ages

Keeper of Mammon’s iron chest,

Lo, there she goes, unpitied and unblest,

She goes, but not to realms of everlasting rest!

Endears her renovated ray. 20

What though she leave the sky unblest

To mourn awhile in murky vest?

Doth all too often harshly execute

For thy unblest coevals, amid wilds

Where fancy hath small liberty to grace
