Excerpt from Shelley: A Poem

Thou glorious Being of unchanging Love,
Enthroned eternally so far above
Man's mind, if spring not from thy sacred mount
The quickening waters of the limpid fount
Where poets seek high inspiration for
Their utterance, then shall I sing no more.
I must be mute; for not a single strain
This voice would give forth of a source profane.
If all the triumphs of exalted art
Be aught but travail of the human heart,
To tell of heaven, just transiently seen
As if through rifts rent in the triple screen
That shrouds thy majesty from mortal sense
By seraphim, who sweep on pinions tense
About thy messages - then all are vain,
And better far the lyre had idle lain,
The gleaming marble had remained unwrought,
The master's brush the canvas had not taught
With glowing pigments to enchant the gaze;
For then - such are but idols that men raise.
