LALCHIMIE DE DOULEUR
ONE with his ardour makes thee tender,
Another clothes thee in his grief,
Nature ! Saith one : The falling leaf !
The other : Praise October splendour !
Thou unknown Hermes that assists
Me, before whom I crouch and tremble ;
Thou makst me Midas to resemble,
The saddest of all alchemists !
For gold within my crucible
Turns iron ; and heaven turns to hell
In cloudlands ghostly napery
I find a corpsethat I loved well
And in celestial gardens I
Build mightiest sarcophagi
