Blue! 'Tis the life of heaven,--the domain br Of Cynthia,--the wide palace of the sun,-- br The tent of Hesperus, and all his train,-- br The bosomer of clouds, gold, gray, and dun. br Blue! 'Tis the life of waters: -- Ocean br And all its vassal streams, pools numberless, br May rage, and foam, and fret, but never can br Subside, if not to dark-blue nativeness.
