A
Much have I travell'd in the realms of gold,
B
And many goodly states and kingdoms seen;
B
Round many western islands have I been
A
Which bards in fealty to Apollo hold.
A
Oft of one wide expanse had I been told
B
That deep-brow'd Homer ruled as his demesne;
B
Yet did I never breathe its pure serene
A
Till I heard Chapman speak out loud and bold:
C
Then felt I like some watcher of the skies
D
When a new planet swims into his ken;
C
Or like stout Cortez when with eagle eyes
D
He star'd at the Pacific—and all his men
C
Look'd at each other with a wild surmise
D
Silent, upon a peak in Darien.
