text_original: A lily on the waters of despond? A ray that leaping from our whitest star Shows but the night beyond? And yet thou seemest more than all the rest That eye and ear attest — A watch tower on the mountains whence we see On future skies The rose of dawn to be; The altar of an undiscovered shore; A dim assurance and a proud surmise; A gleam Upon the bubble, Time; The vision, fleet, sublime.
