Red gloves a red mask
And dark stockings

Of seeing you quite naked
Nudity pure O ready finery
Breasts O my heart
Fertile Eyes
Fertile Eyes
No one can know me more
More than you know me
Your eyes in which we sleep
The two of them
Have cast a spell on my male orbs
Greater than worldly nights
Your eyes where I voyage
Have given the road-signs
Directions

In your eyes those that show us
Our infinite solitude
Is no more than they think exists

A veil or scapulary, this or that,

The nodding oxeye bends before the wind,
The woodbine quakes lest boys their flowers should find,
And prickly dogrose spite of its array
Can't dare the blossom-seeking hand away,
While thistles wear their heavy knobs of bloom
Proud as a warhorse wears its haughty plume,
And by the
roadside
danger's self defy;
On commons where pined sheep and oxen lie
In ruddy pomp and ever thronging mood
It stands and spreads like danger in a wood,
And in the village street where meanest weeds
Can't stand untouched to fill their husks with seeds,
The haughty thistle oer all danger towers,
In every place the very wasp of flowers.

Are faint with weeping: and my liver lies 130
Pour'd out upon the ground, for miserie
That sucking
children
in the streets doe die.

ON THE BANKS OF JO-YEH
By the river-side at Jo-yeh,
girls
plucking
lotus;
Laughing across the lotus-flowers,
each whispers to a friend.

All fate's

Not even if I'd to be a vulture's prey,
Nor he who must roll the boulder, Sisyphus.

Now I am terrified at the Earth, it is that calm and patient,
It grows such sweet things out of such corruptions,
It turns harmless and stainless on its axis, with such endless
successions of diseas'd corpses,
It distills such exquisite winds out of such infused fetor,
It renews with such unwitting looks its prodigal, annual, sumptuous crops,
It gives such divine
materials
to men, and accepts such leavings
from them at last.
