And at each pause again broke in

With tones of

Movements of trouble or of calm,

Between the verses of the psalm
The organ playing soft and clear,

Blinks golden eyes dull with sleepiness;

Make his tail flicker and his flanks quiver,
Dreams himself deep in some green plantation,
Leaping, and plunging
dripping

Into bullocks' flesh as they bellow and shiver.

While time still flowers for you,
In its freshest novelty,
Cull, ah cull your
youthful
bloom:
As it blights this flower, the doom
Of age will blight your beauty.
