Be kind ! O be nigh me ! She speaks not. I’ll follow ! Leaps from boat and wades in to shore. The world is my bower. By height and by hollow I’ll seek thee, O flower ! I’ll not turn back ! He pursues her. I’ll go on for ever. The strength of a giant Is in my limbs — He reels. My body is slack ; My muscles sever ; My limbs are pliant; My eyesight swims. Come…

O China rose without a thorn, O honey-bee with- out a sting ! The scent of all thy beauty burns upon the wind. The deep perfume Of our own love is hidden in our hearts, the invul- nerable ring. No man shall know. I bear thee down unto the tomb, beyond the tomb, Rose on the breast of the world of spring !

Its myriad petals of divided light; Tits leaves of the most radiant emerald ; Tes heart of fire like rubies.

I invoke thee, O lightning, the flames of the Gods flung free ! THE LIGHTNING. The wand of Hermes, the caduceus wonder-working, Sweeps in mid-zether— Where we are lurking It finds us and gathers.

So has the daystar fled again Before the blushes of the sky, So did I clasp thy knees in vain : For we must part, and love must die. You say another’s sensuous lips Shall open to my kisses there :

World in thy music fadeth To what is scarce a sleep, Life’s darkest shadow shadeth Memories that chide and weep, Only delights grow clearer, More exquisite and nearer, And new life-arteries leap To fresh loves, into being, From blindness into seeing, Beyond God’s mountains steep. The words of promise spoken Flourish and flower unbroken, And for His holy token The mirror of the deep. Sing on, thou lyric …

How pale thy bloom, Thy blood, O brow whereon the night Sits like a serpent on a tomb! For Palamede those eyes beheld The iron image of his own ; On those dead brows a fate he spelled To strike a Gorgon into stone. He knew his father.
