1.
God of the golden bow,
   And of the golden lyre,
And of the golden hair,
   And of the golden fire,
      Charioteer
      Of the patient year,
   Where—-where slept thine ire,
When like a blank idiot I put on thy wreath,
   Thy laurel, thy glory,
   The light of thy story,
Or was I a worm—-too low crawling for death?
   O Delphic Apollo!

2.
The Thunderer grasp'd and grasp'd,
   The Thunderer frown'd and frown'd;
The eagle's feathery mane
   For wrath became stiffen'd—-the sound
      Of breeding thunder
      Went drowsily under,
   Muttering to be unbound.
O why didst thou pity, and beg for a worm?
   Why touch thy soft lute
   Till the thunder was mute,
Why was I not crush'd—-such a pitiful germ?
   O Delphic Apollo!

3.
The Pleiades were up,
   Watching the silent air;
The seeds and roots in Earth
   Were swelling for summer fare;
      The Ocean, its neighbour,
      Was at his old labour,
   When, who—-who did dare
To tie for a moment, thy plant round his brow,
   And grin and look proudly,
   And blaspheme so loudly,
And live for that honour, to stoop to thee now?
   O Delphic Apollo!
This also was first given in the Literary Remains in the second volume of the Life, Letters &c. 1848, where it stood next to the Ode To Apollo, though undated. As Lord Houghton retains it between the Ode To Apollo and the stanzas To Hope (dated February 1815) in the chronological Aldine edition, the date February 1815 may be presumed to be that of the Hymn as well as that of the Ode.
