***Young
flowers were whispering in melody
To happy flowers that night--and tree to tree;
Fountains were gushing music as they fell
In many a star-lit grove, or moon-lit dell;
Yet silence came upon material things--
Fair flowers, bright waterfalls and angel wings--
And sound alone that from the spirit sprang
Bore burthen to the charm the maiden sang:
* Eyraco--Chaldea.

Yeats |

Such the arcane chose for confidant,
The great twin reed we play under the azure ceiling,
That turning towards itself the cheek's quivering,
Dreams, in a long solo, so we might amuse
The beauties round about by false notes that confuse
Between itself and our credulous singing;
And create as far as love can, modulating,
The vanishing, from the common dream of pure flank
Or back
followed
by my shuttered glances,
Of a sonorous, empty and monotonous line.

But under one name I'd have thee yoke them both;
And when, for instance, I shall speak of soul,
Teaching
the same to be but mortal, think
Thereby I'm speaking also of the mind--
Since both are one, a substance inter-joined.

merit and sovereign beauty, to be well
received
by all minds and in all
ages, without possessing any other passport than the sole merit with
which they are filled.
