Champing

Lower the sea gulls soar,

And great lizards warm from the noon heat stir,
Then vanish gleaming through the tawny grass.

DAMON
"Rise, Lucifer, and, heralding the light,
Bring in the genial day, while I make moan
Fooled by vain passion for a
faithless

For Nysa, and with this my dying breath
Call on the gods, though little it bestead-
The gods who heard her vows and heeded not.

The bridges from the steepled crest
Cross the water east and west.
