Vision ecstatic, tangible withal,

From thee to learn

All the soft wonders of thy disarray.”

So, fearless, turned I: yet ere thought to deed

Quickened my members, swift upon the air

Luxuriously this song sped, deft and rare,

Beckoning me to speed.

“Come, my love, to love me; come!

Life is but the tangled sum

Of thy being’s bitter hum.
