A maze of misty flame would leap again.
So from my heart as night mists dropped adown
And earth became an opal for Love’s crown,
No real world anywhere, nothing but this,
I knew that with sun-splendor of your kiss
There’d come a wonder as with dawn there came
And from Love’s opal heart would leap a flame.

We waked not till again the cruel day came.
The level lake with fire was burnished white.
