Source-grounded excerpt

ons gird the sphere, We know their time and place, but thou, Whence art thou, Child of Light, And what thy mission here? Like meteor stars that stream Adown the dark obscure, Didst thou descend from angel homes, To bless with angel joys Abodes less bright and pure? Thy beauty and thy love May mortal transports share, Aspire with quivering wings to reach The spirits of thy thought That breathe celestial air. Thou art no child of Earth. Earth’s fairest children weep That o’er affection’s sweetest lyre, By phantom minstrels stirred, Unhallowed strains will sweep. While zephyr-wings may guard, The rose its bloom retains; The autumn.
