You sit on a throne, Above me, but by a whisker. Unsung go my little actions. In vain are my juvenile overtures. Isn’t this your greatest gift? I have been saved from a weak and unsure desire.
My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began,
So is it now I am a man,
So be it when I shall grow old
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man:
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety
