And in the desperate pang
And subtle stroke and fang
Of hateful kisses
Whence devilish laughter sprang,
Close on me with a clang
The brazen abysses
The leopard-coloured paw
Strikes, and the cruel jaw
Hides me in the glutless maw—
Crown of ten blisses !
For all the vision world
Is closed on me and curled
Into the deep
Of my slow soul, and hurled
Through lampless lands, and furled,
Sharp folds and steep :
Till all unite in one,
Seven planets in the sun,
And I am deeplier done
Into full sleep.
