When I have fears that I may cease to be 
Before my pen has gleaned my teeming brain, 
Before high-pilèd books, in charactery, 
Hold like rich garners the full ripened grain; 
When I behold, upon the night’s starred face, 
Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance, 
And think that I may never live to trace 
Their shadows with the magic hand of chance; 
And when I feel, fair creature of an hour, 
That I shall never look upon thee more, 
Never have relish in the faery power Of unreflecting love—
then on the shore Of the wide world I stand alone, 
and think Till love and fame to nothingness do sink.
