shining and flowing waters,
The skies of day and night, colors, densities, forms, may-be these

Then a dream of great pomp rises o'er,
And it
conquers
the god that it bore,
Till a shout casts us down far beneath;
We so small, and so stript before death.

War Poetry - 1914-17 |

At Gryphon's sight the harlot's spirits fall,
Who fears that he will work her scathe and shame;
And knows her lover has not force and breath
To save her from Sir Gryphon, threatening death;
IX
But like most cunning and audacious quean,
Although
she quakes from head to foot with fear,
Her voice so strengthens, and so shapes her mien,
That in her face no signs of dread appear,
Having already made her leman ween
The trick devised, she feigns a joyous cheer,
Towards Sir Gryphon goes, and for long space
Hangs on his neck, fast-locked in her embrace.

Across the room my silent love I throw,
Where you sit sewing in bed by candlelight,
Your young stern profile and industrious fingers
Displayed against the blind in a shadow-show,
To Dinda's grave delight.
