AMBERGRIS
Mistress of all its moods,
Matchless, serene, in sacred amplitudes
Of its own royal rapture, deaf and blind
To aught but its own mastery of song
And light, shown ever as silence and deep night
Secret as death and final. Let me long
Never again for aught ! This great delight
Involves me, weaves me in its pattern of bliss,
Seals me with its own kiss,
Draws me to thee with every dream that glows.
Poet, each word ! Maiden, each burden of snows
Extending beyond sunset, beyond dawn !
O Rose, inviolate, utterly withdrawn
In the truth :for this is truth ; Love knows !
Ah ! Rose of the World ! Rose ! Rose !
