    The moon has set
    In a bank of jet
    That fringes the Western sky,
    The pleiads seven
    Have sunk from heaven
    And the midnight hurries by;
    My hopes are flown
    And, alas! alone
    On my weary couch I lie.

Whereunder crawling coop'd we live and die,
Lift not read more

And that inverted Bowl they call the Sky,
Whereunder crawling coop'd we live and die,

As impotently moves as you or I.

He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It
will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky
is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of
the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

So cloudless, clear, and purely beautiful,
That God alone read more

So cloudless, clear, and purely beautiful,
That God alone was to be seen in Heaven.
