THE EQUINOX See! With an idle rime I slip again to the splendour, With eyes all blinded by time, To this thing that the gods surrender— Ineffably sad and tender As a girl-babe born to die Ere she hath known the blue of the sky, And the light that her love shall lend her. So in an idle dream I have slipped from the yellow-gray; On the wings of song I have crossed the stream To the dawn of immortal youth— To the long-lost love-lit day When the gods in glamour and ruth Passed as a dream away, In a dream that was known for the truth.

10 THE EQUINOX O moon! ambrosial moon! Arise on my desert of sorrow That the magical eyes of me swoon With lust of rain to-morrow! Ages and ages ago I stood on the bank of a river Holy and holy and holy, I know, For ever and ever and ever! A priest in the mystical shrine, I muttered a redeless rune, Till the waters were redder than wine In the blush of the harlot moon. I and my brother priests Worshipped a wonderful woman With a body lithe as a beast’s, Subtly, horribly human. Deep in the pit of her eyes I saw the image of death, And I drew the…

Mom and noon and eve and night I, the forlorn eremit‘e, Called on Him wi…
