Lear - Nonsense |

'Twas once & _only_ once & the wild hour
From my rememberance shall not pass--some power
Or spell had bound me--'twas the chilly wind
Came o'er me in the night & left behind
Its image on my spirit, or the moon
Shone on my
slumbers
in her lofty noon
Too coldly--or the stars--howe'er it was
That dream was as that night wind--let it pass.

I have seen eyes in the street
Trying to peer through lighted shutters,
And a crab one afternoon in a pool,
An old crab with
barnacles
on his back,
Gripped the end of a stick which I held him.

But the other name of
_Desperati_ they rejected as a calumny, retorting it back upon their
adversaries, who more justly
deserved
it.

A window opens like a pod,
Abrupt, mechanically;
Somebody flings a

The children hurry by;
They wonder if It died on that, --

Seven queens shone round her ivory bed,
Like seven soft gems on a silken thread,
Like seven fair lamps in a royal tower,
Like seven bright petals of Beauty's flower
Queen Gulnaar sighed like a

rose
"Where is my rival, O King Feroz?

American Poetry - 1922 - A Miscellany |
|
Still would her touch the strain prolong;
And from the rocks, the woods, the vale
She call'd on Echo still through all the song;
And, where her sweetest theme she chose,
A soft responsive voice was heard at every close:
And Hope enchanted smiled, and waved her golden hair;--
And longer had she sung:--but with a frown Revenge
impatient
rose:
He threw his blood-stain'd sword in thunder down;
And with a withering look
The war-denouncing trumpet took
And blew a blast so loud and dread,
Were ne'er prophetic sounds so full of woe!
