I saw a spirit , standing, man, Where thou dost stand– an hour ago, And round his feet three rivers ran, Of equal depth and equal flow– A golden stream– and one like blood; and one like sapphire seemed to be; But where they joined their triple flood it tumbled in an inky sea The spirit sent his dazzling gaze Down though the oceans gloomy night; Then kindling all with sudden blaze, The glad deep sparkled far and bright– White as the sun, far, far more fair Than it’s divided sources were! Published 1846 in Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell, by Ellis Bell
