How soon will all my lovely days be over,
And I no more be found beneath the sun,--
Neither beside the many-murmuring sea,
Nor where the plain-winds whisper to the reeds,
Nor in the tall beech-woods among the hills 5
Where roam the bright-lipped Oreads, nor along
The pasture-sides where berry-pickers stray
And harmless

pipe their sheep to fold!

Whose eyes are joyous, and whose heart is gay;
Around whose modesty a hundred arms,
Aided by pride, protect a thousand charms;

As glitt'ring planets cheer the gloomy night:--

O soul who still art strange to sense,
Who often against beauty wouldst complain,
Doubting between joy and pain:
If like the startling touch of
something
keen
Against thee, it hath been
To follow from an upland height
The swift sun hunting rain
Across the April meadows of a plain,
Until the fields would flash into the air
Their joyous green, like emeralds alight;
Or when in the blue of night's mid-noon
The burning naked moon
Draws to a brink of cloudy weather near,
A breadth of snow, firm and soft as a wing,
Stretcht out over a wind that gently goes,--
Through the white sleep of snowy cloud there grows
An azure-border'd shining ring,
The gleaming dream of the approaching joy of her;--
What now wilt thou do, Soul?

INDIAN DANCERS
Eyes ravished with rapture, celestially panting,
what passionate bosoms aflaming with fire
Drink deep of the hush of the hyacinth
heavens that glimmer around them in
fountains of light;
O wild and entrancing the strain of keen music
that
cleaveth
the stars like a wail of desire,
And beautiful dancers with houri-like faces
bewitch the voluptuous watches of night.

thus:
'"I am from an Ithacan home,

Homage
Each Dawn however numb
To raise a fist obscure
Against
trumpets
of azure
Sounded by her, the dumb,
Has the shepherd with his gourd
Joined to a rod struck harshly
Along the path to be
Till the vast stream's outpoured
Already thus solitary
You live O Puvis
De Chavannes
never alone
Lead our age to quench its thirst
From the shroud-less nymph, the one
Whom your glory will rehearse
.
