IN MANU DOMINÆ
171
She laughs outright as she gains the goal
Of her dark and deadly dream ;
And the white life leaps from his control
Wild, in a choking scream.
She curves white lips to a cup of death ;
Her eyes gleam, and her wise brows nod ;
Her hand makes music with her breath
Dancing upon the ivory rod
The dying priestess offereth
The sacrifice to God
