The world`s great age begins anew, <br />The golden years return, <br />The earth doth like a snake renew <br />Her winter weeds outworn: <br />Heaven smiles, and faith and empires gleam, <br />Like a wrecks of a dissolving dream. <br /> <br />A brighter Hellas rears its mountains <br />From waves serener far; <br />A new Peneus rolls his fountains <br />Against the morning star. <br />Where fairer Tempes bloom, there sleep <br />Young Cyclads on a sunnier deep. <br /> <br />A loftier Argo cleaves the main, <br />Fraught with a later prize; <br />Another Orpheus sings again, <br />And loves, and weeps, and dies. <br />A new Ulyssses leaves once more <br />Calypso for his native shore...<br /><br />Percy Bysshe Shelley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/chorus-from-hellas/
