I

Listen in the reader

Of moires of placid glitter The moon is knitter, Under dark trees, whose branches The blue night blanches: Upon yon stream’s swift arrow Lights lie, as narrow As is the glance of some pale sorceress, Spell-haunted, watching in a wilderness. And I, who, dreaming, wander, Seem to behold her yonder, My beautiful dream, my bodiless loveliness.
