UCH have I travell'd in the realms of gold,<br />
And many goodly states and kingdoms seen;<br />
Round many v.'estern islands have I been<br />
Which bards in fealty to Apollo hold.<br />
Oft of one wide expanse had 1 been told<br />

Yet did I ever breathe its pure serene<br />
heard Chapman speak out loud and bold:<br />
Then felt I like some watcher of the skies<br />
When a new planet swims into his ken ;<br />
Or like stout Cortex when with eagle eyes<br />
He stared at the Pacific, and all his men<br />
Look'd at each other with a wild surmise.<br />
Silent, upon a peak in Darien.<br />
