AMBERGRIS
Or mists that fold about a dove,
Or valleys full of roses !
O let me fade and fall away
From waking into sleep,
From sleep to death, from gold to gray,
Deep as the skies are deep !
O let me fall from death to dream,
Eternal monotone ;
Faint eventide of sleep supreme
With thee and love alone !
A jewelled night of star and moon
Shall watch our bridal chamber,
Bending the blue rays to the tune
Of softly-sliding amber.
Dim winds shall whisper echoes of
Our slow ecstatic breath,
Telling all worlds how sweet is love,
How beautiful is death.
