THE COURT OF THE PROFANE.
9
TO RICHARD WAGNER.
(BEFORE HEARING “ SIEGFRIED.”)
MASTER of the ring of love, O lord
Of all desires, and king of all the stars,
O strong magician, who with locks and bars
Dost seal that kingdom silent and abhorred
That stretches out and binds with iron cord
The hopes and lives of men, and makes and mars !
O thou thrice noble for the deadly scars
That answered vainly thy victorious sword !
Wagner ! creator of a world of light
As beautiful as God’s, bend down to me,
And whisper me the secrets of thy heart,
That I may follow and dispel the night,
And fight life through, a comrade unto thee,
Under Love’s banner with the sword of Art !
