Georgic

 1    I|      fair the hours of sleep and day~Give half the world to sunshine,
 2    I|   returning Dawn brings back the day;~And when the first breath
 3    I|         must watch, when now the day~Grows shorter, and more
 4    I| unblunted, then shall that whole day,~And to the month’s end
 5    I|       brings again and hides the day’s return,~Clear-orbed he
 6   II|    useful, thin~Lageos, that one day will try the feet~And tie
 7   II|       ploughs detested, this one day~Shall yield thee store of
 8  III|         the running wave:~But at day’s hottest seek a shadowy
 9  III|       house in? Oft their cattle day and night~Graze the whole
10  III|     Disease and fear before her, day by day~Still rearing higher
11  III|          fear before her, day by day~Still rearing higher that
12   IV|      lone shore alone,~Thee when day dawned and when it died
13   IV|        the very threshold of the day,~Heedless, alas! and vanquished
14   IV|        ninth dawn had led in the day,~To Orpheus sent his funeral
