'Spirit! who hast dived so deep;
Spirit! who hast soared so high;

Sometimes thou shalt with fervent Vows implore
A moderate Wind; the Orchat loves to wave
With Winter-Winds, before the Gems exert
Their feeble Heads; the loosen'd Roots then drink
Large Increment, Earnest of happy Years.

Poured with both hands divine,
Or just a cup of water spilt

and proceeded along the shores of the dark water,
which stirred not, but was golden in places from the light of torches.

Black lie the hills; swiftly doth daylight flee;
And, catching gleams of sunset's dying smile,
Through the dusk land for many a changing mile

"Of course, it is not nice for a gray-headed man,
To be shamed by the work of a young nincompoop,
When he intends to get more dollars for his pay,
And e'en is not ashamed to pry out more seed grain.
O what became of the bewhiskered Prussian days,
When hired help was so cheep and so obedient?

Pleading before the Cyprian Queen.
The counsel for the fair began
Accusing the false creature, man.

Who through long wars arrive unscarred

Ain't you heard
The boogie-woogie rumble
Of a dream deferred?

As parched in the barren sands
Beneath a burning sky,
The worthless bramble with'ring stands,
And only grows to die.
