Some singing-robe invisible—and spun

Of your own worship—fold me silverly

In very moonlight, so that I walked fair

When you were by, who had no wish to be

The fairer for your eyes! But at some cost

Of other life the hyacinth grows blue,

And sweetens ever…. So it is with us,

The sadder race. I would have fled from you,

And yet I felt some fibre in myself

Binding me here, to search one moment yet—
