With sweeping tail and quivering fin,Through the wave the sturgeon flew,And, like the heaven-shot javelin, He sprung above the waters as the star-fall light He plunged him in the deep again,But left an arch of silver bright, The rainbow of the moony was a strange and lovely sight To see the puny goblin there;He seemed an angel form of light, With azure wing and sunny hair,Throned on a cloud of purple fair,Circled with blue and edged with white,And sitting at the fall of evenBeneath the bow of summer heaven.
