Aleister Crowley . The moon is up full-orbed : she glides Striking a snaky ray Across the black resounding tides , The sepulchre of day. The moon is up : upon the prow We stand and watch the moon . A star is lustred on your brow ; Your lips begin a tune, A long , low tune of love that swells Little by little , and lights The overarching miracles Of Love's desire , and Night's. It swells, it rolls to triumph -song Through luminous black skies : Thrills into silence sharp and strong , Assumes its peace , and dies . There is the night : it covers …

… kneel before thy knees , All humbly hesitant ; the silver shoon I crave to kiss make molten melodies To the Slow Nocturne of the Rising Moon . Oh lustrous Lady, for thy shadow 's sake Is slain my slumber, ended all my ease ; I dream at dawn , nor with the wild birds wake To dulcet day ; marred are mine images Of lost low lands , of secret summer seas , Where grave gold Glamour is so subtly strewn , That from that dryad - dream no faerie flees To the Slow Nocturne of the Rising Moon . Oh lustrous Lady of the Silver Snake , Whisper thy worshippe…

…ILLE 'S COURT , TRINITY COLLEGE , CAMBRIDGE . THINK the souls of many men are here Among these cloisters , underneath the spire That the moon silvers with magnetic fire ; But not a moon -ray is it, that so clear Shines on the pavement ; for a voice of fear It hath , unless it be the breeze that mocks My ear, and waves his old majestic locks About his head . There fell upon my ear ; “ O soul contemplative of distant things , Who hast a poet 's heart , even if thy pen Be dry and barren , who dost hold love dear , Speed forth this message on the f…

I sing beneath the waning moon ; An ancient god -forgotten rune Springs to my lips to taste , and soon The way behind with light is strewn. O silent city silver - lit, O rainy roads reflecting Tall houses where the old ghosts fit , Their shadows thin projecting Across my path — the street lamps glare Before my soft eyes everywhere . Ah ! men forget my face is fair , The tangled glor…

…HE MASTER OF THE CARAVAN Open the gate, O watchman of the night ! THE WATCHMAN Ho, travellers, I open. For what land Leave you the dim - moon city of delight ? THE MERCHANTS ( with a shout ) We make the golden journey to Samarkand . [ The Caravan passes through the gate .] THE WATCHMAN ( consoling the women ) What would ye , ladies ? It was ever thus .

ROBERT KEABLE . * BENEDICTION . I IKE the white shining of the Host When held in folds of blue, God lifts to -night the moon 's pale ghost To make old blessings new . A thousand fire- flies star His way , A thousand candle - lights ; Earth lit by other every day Can light her Lord at nights . Tall palms rear stately heads to grace The coming of the King , Incense to smoke before his face A thousand flowers bring . And all the world , as Eden was , Is hushed in holy fear , Only small creatures shrill because God holds them very dear . For earth …

Marjory Mines. Evening . ITIS clear and cold 1 This Christmas night With snows that linger , And the great moon In her praise -light Like jewel worn on God 's ring -finger Is blurred , as the church -bell rings, By the young angels' wings. THE SWAN . THE other lights , the other trees , 1 The other houses hung in the pool Are his : he is the lord of these . It is a kingdom deep and cool . Preoccupied and white as dreams , He bends his head , watching his own , His still dominions . Brawling streams Could never make for him a throne . He knows i…

…illed an antidote for fears Sweeter than honey of upland bees . The sun that went yet still returned Nor ever faltered on his race , The moon that on her errand burned And stars a- dance in the halls of space . The plant that flowered and yearly fell , All things that went and came in dust , River and sea , contrived a spell To choke the strength of pain and lust . Till memory rounded life to a whole , And fear expanding grew to awe , And in a universal soul I dreamed a universal law . 115

F . W. Stokoe . *THREE SONGS TO FIDELIO . F you will meet me where the moon 1 Is quiet on the moorland reaches , Or in the shade of dappled glade Beneath the haunted beeches If you will wait, О faery boy , I will not linger. So wave your hand from Faery Land And beckon with your finger . “ Awake ! Awake! ” I hear you cry . And now your reedy pipes are shrill Far , far away , beyond the day , Beyond the Faery Hill . But wait , but wait , О faery boy , I come by height and hollow . For now I hear your music clear Cry : “ Follow ! Follow ! Follow …

On the last Bridal step when the moon was on the river - Purple dark , with white stars, shining through above The Princess took her gold crown and cast it off for ever , Because for her gold crown she had slain her love . Forth from the thousand steps on the gleaming water , Leaving Death and Age in the Kingdom of Faerie , Sailed the page , the peacocks , and the King 's White Daughter , Silent through the wild swans asleep upon the sea . 20…

Here do I stand in the dusk ; like spectres mournfully moving Wisps of the cloud - wreaths form , dissipate into the mist , Wrap me in shrouds of gray , chill me and make me shiver , Not with the Night alone , not with the sound of her wing , Yet with a sense of something vague and unearthly stalking ( Step after step …
