AMBERGRIS 45 I sit, as God must sit : I reign. Redemption from the threads of pain I weave, until the veil be drawn. I burn the chaff, I glean the grain ; In silence I await the dawn.

52 AMBERGRIS Rise ! Move ! Appear ! Let us go forth together, Into the solemn passionless profound, Into the darkness, and the thrilling weather, Into the silence louder than all sound, Into the vast implacable inane ! Come, let us journey thither once again !

60 AMBERGRIS Some forty years this earth knew song and passion Pour from my lips, saw gladness in mine eyes ! Some forty shall I sing some other fashion, Dance in strange measures, change the key of sighs. Then rise in Thessaly again, Thalassian ! Only, more wise.

80 AMBERGRIS Amid thy mountains shall I rise, O moon, and float about thy skies ? Beneath thy waters shall I roam, O sea, and call thy valleys home ? Or on Dædalian oarage fare Forth in the interlunar air ? Imageless mirror-life ! to be Sole between moon and sea.

112 AMBERGRIS So turn up thy face to the stars ! In their peace be at peace for awhile ! Let us pass in their luminous cars As a sob, as a sigh, as a smile ! Love me and laze Through the languorous days On the breast of the beautiful Nile !

8 AMBERGRIS Know not where frost has laid his iron hand Save only that it fastens on my heart ; Save only that it grips with icy fire These veins no fire of hell could satiate ; Save only that it quenches this desire. Let me pass out beyond the city gate.

AMBERGRIS 109 FROM GARGOYLES Song Dance a measure Of tiniest whirls ! Shake out your treasure Of cinnamon curls ! Tremble with pleasure, O wonder of girls ! Rest is bliss, And bliss is rest, Give me a kiss If you love me best ! Hold me like this With my head on your breast !

122 AMBERGRIS Her secret wonders grow and glow, limned in the luminous patine. Worship, the sculptors, clean forgot in worship of her body lithe And time forgotten with his scythe, and thought, the Witenagemot, Confused in rapture : peace is culled a flower from the arboreal root, The vision dulled, the singer mute, shattered the lute, the song annulled.

38 AMBERGRIS FROM THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY GHOST The Reaper In middle music of Apollos corn She stood, the reaper, challenging a kiss ; The lips of her were fresher than the morn, The perfume of her skin was ambergris ; The sun had kissed her body into brown ; Ripe breasts thrown forward to the summer breeze ; Warm tints of red lead fancy to the crown, Her coils of chestnut, in abundant ease, That bound the stately head. What joy of youth Lifted her nostril to respire the wind ? What pride of being ? What triumphal truth Acclaimed her queen to h…

130 AMBERGRIS And night falls faster, ere thine eyes appear Glittering through the mist. O face of woman unkissed Save by the dead whose love is taken ere they wist ! Thee, thee I call ! O dire one ! O divine ! I, the sole mortal, seek thy deadly shrine, Pour the dark stream of blood, A sleepy and reluctant river Even as thou drawest, with thine eyes on mine, To me across the sense-bewildering flood That holds my soul for ever !

14 AMBERGRIS Stars and tender winds that fret Lily, lily, laughing rose, Sighing, sighing violet, Dusky pansy, swaying rush, And the stream that flows Singing, ringing softly : Hush ! Listen to the bird that goes Wooing to the brown mates bough ; Listen to the breeze that blows Over cape and valley now At the silence of the noon, Or the slumber hour Of the white delicious moon Like a lotus-flower ! Let us sadly, slowly, to To the silence of the snow !

106 AMBERGRIS OTHER LOVE SONGS Eileen Under the stars the die was cast to win. The moonrays stained with pale embroidered bars The iridescent shimmer of your skin, Under the stars. Great angels drove their pearl-interwoven cars Through the nights racecourse : silence stood within The folded cups of passions nenuphars. You were my own ; sorrowless, without sin, That night this night. Sinks the red eye of Mars ; The hand of Hermes guides us as we spin Under the stars.

118 AMBERGRIS This is the climax, first and last. We stand upon the summit. Mother Of ages, daughter of ages, cast The fatal die, and turn to death ! Let evolution turn, involving As when the gray sun sickeneth Ghostly September ! so dissolving Into the pale eternal breath. When all is done, shall this be said. When all is said, shall this be done, The æon exhaust and finishéd, And slumber steal upon the sun, My dear, when you and I are dead.
