THE SEA WIND

I know the stars and the stately moon
And the wind that runs with rippling shoon--
But why does it always bring to me
The far-off,

Upon thy spirit flee,

Upturned, did

Enthralled my soul to thee!

Beats like a

Midnight shakes the memory

The music, and the banquet, and the wine,
The garlands, the rose odours, and the flowers,
The sparkling eyes, and flashing ornaments,
The white arms and the raven hair, the braids
And bracelets; swanlike bosoms, and the necklace,
An India in itself, yet dazzling not
The eye like what it circled; the thin robes,
Floating like light clouds 'twixt our gaze and heaven;
The many-twinkling feet so small and sylphlike,
Suggesting
the more secret symmetry[ed] 60
Of the fair forms which terminate so well--
All the delusion of the dizzy scene,
Its false and true enchantments--Art and Nature,
Which swam before my giddy eyes, that drank
The sight of beauty as the parched pilgrim's
On Arab sands the false mirage, which offers
A lucid lake to his eluded thirst,
Are gone.

**"What tho' in worlds which
sightless
cycles run,
Link'd to a little system, and one sun--
Where all my love is folly and the crowd
Still think my terrors but the thunder cloud,
The storm, the earthquake, and the ocean-wrath--

The mouth cannot be sure
Of tasting anything in its bite
Unless your
princely
lover cares
In that mighty brush of hair
To breathe out, like a diamond,
The cry of Glory stifled there.

A Single Smile
A single smile disputes
Each star with the
gathering
night
A single smile for us both
And the blue of your joyful eyes
Against the mass of night
Finding its flame in my eyes
I have seen by needing to know
The deep night create the day
With no change in our appearance.

Grow weary of

There ruminating neath some
pleasant
bush,
On sweet silk grass I stretch me at mine ease,
Where I can pillow on the yielding rush;
And, acting as I please,
Drop into pleasant dreams; or musing lie,
Mark the wind-shaken trees,
And cloud-betravelled sky.
