ISRAFEL*  
IN Heaven a spirit doth dwell  
Whose heart-strings are a lute;"

None sing so wildly well  
As the angel Israfel,  
And the giddy stars (so legends tell)  
Ceasing their hymns, attend the spell  
Of his voice, all mute.  
Tottering above  
In her highest noon  
The enamoured moon  
Blushes with love,  
While, to listen, the red levin  
(With the rapid Pleiads, even,  
Which were seven,)  
Pauses in Heaven
