(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

The Powers whose name and shape no living creature knows

Have pulled the Immortal¹ Rose；

And though the Seven Lights bowed in their dance and wept，

The Polar Dragon slept，

His heavy rings uncoiled from glimmering² deep to deep：

When will he wake from sleep？

Great Powers of falling wave and wind and windy fire，

Encircle her I love and sing her into peace，

That my old care may cease；

Unfold your flaming wings and cover out of sight

The nets of day and night.

Dim Powers of drowsy⁵ thought， let her no longer be

Like the pale cup of the sea，

When winds have gathered and sun and moon burned dim

Above its cloudy rim⁶；

But let a gentle silence wrought⁷ with music flow

Whither her footsteps go.
