And, ah, how lightly hence! And in thy golden eyes,

Thy love, and all the ashen glory of the skies,

Shall mingle, and as in a mirror lie for me.


SYMBOLS

No more of gold and marble, nor of snow,

And sunlight, and vermilion, would I make

My vision and my symbols, nor would take

The auroral flame of some prismatic floe,

Nor iris of the frail and lunar bow,
