See, the elder and younger move
At the garden's edge, and beside them
White carnations with long frail stems,
Stirred by the wind, in a marble urn,
Lean, watching them, live and motionless,
And,
trembling
with shade there, seem to be
Butterflies caught in flight, frozen ecstasy.

Dispersed and, shining through,
The other six declining: Those that hold
The stars and moons,

Huge arsenals with centuries of snows;
Infinite rows of storms and swarms of seraphim.

Or plants, herbs, cabbages, and various roots,
Without averting him, pray, here repair,
