<p><i>Panis Angelicus!</i> Eyes tranquil with the blaze<br />
Of love's own diametric gaze, of love's amaze!<br />
Not greatest, thou,—not first, nor last,—but near<br />
And onward yielding past my utmost year.<br />
Familiar, thou, as mendicants in public places;<br />
Evasive—too—as dayspring's spreading arc to trace is:—<br />
Our Meistersinger, thou set breath in steel;<br />
And it was thou who on the boldest heel<br />
Stood up and flung the span on even wing<br />
Of that great Bridge, our Myth, whereof I sing!

<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 6em;"> <i>Of my voice in the starry night;</i></span><br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 3em;"> <i>And the echoes quake and shiver and shake,</i></span><br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 6em;"> <i>In their rocky retreats afar;</i></span><br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 3em;"> <i>For I am the puffing, the chugging, and chuffing</i></span><br />

<p><span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 11em;"> Low, shadowed of the Cape,</span><br />
Regard the moving turrets! From grey decks<br />
See scouting griffons rise through gaseous crepe<br />
Hung low... until a conch of thunder answers<br />
Cloud-belfries, banging, while searchlights, like fencers,<br />
Slit the sky's pancreas of foaming anthracite<br />
Toward thee, O Corsair of the typhoon,—pilot, hear!<br />
Thine eyes bicarbonated white by speed, O Skygak, see<br />
How from thy path above the levin's lance<br />
Thou sowest doom thou hast nor time nor chance<br />
To reckon—as thy stilly eyes partake<br />
What alcohol of space...! Remember, Falcon-Ace,<br />
Thou hast there in thy wrist a Sanskrit charge<br />
To conjugate infinity's dim marge—<br />
Anew...!

<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 1em;">And the hens are cackling in the rose-apple tree,</span><br />
Where the old draft-horse is neighing, neighing, neighing<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 2em;">Out on the brown dew-silvered lawn,</span><br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 1em;">And the tethered cow is lowing, lowing, lowing,</span><br />
And dear old Ned is braying, braying, braying,<br />
And the shaggy Nannie goat is calling, calling, calling<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 1em;">From her little trampled corner of the long wide lea</span><br />
That stretches to the waters of the hill-stream falling<br />

<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 1em;">There, oh there! on the island of the sea</span><br />
