The lamp is lighted, the flame is steady:

Over the strait I toss this song for you!

II.
A ROSE.

Too-perfect Rose, thy heavy breath has power

To wake a dim, an unexplained regret:

Art body to the soul of some deep hour

That all my seasons have not yielded yet?

But if it be so—Hour, too-perfect Hour,

Ah, blow not full, though all the yearning days

Should tremble bud-like, since the wind must shower
