Lost in the fields of nether stars—and seek

A planet where the outwearied wings of time

Might pause and furl for respite, or the plumes

Of death be stayed, and loiter in reprieve

Above some deathless lily: For therein,

Beauty hath found an avatar of flow’rs—

Blossoms that clothe it as a coloured flame,

From peak to peak, from pole to sullen pole,

And turn the skies to perfume. There I find

A lonely castle, calm and unbeset,
