The sound of moving winds and waters was; the sea

Whispered a benediction, and the west grew dim

Where evening lifted her clear candles quietly ...

Heaven, crowded with stars, trembled from rim to rim.


DISDAINFUL BEAUTY

On the wide waste the web of twilight, trembling

Hangs low with stars and night;

The dying day in the worn west, dissembling,

Crowns his defeat with light.
