And Baphomet, in syllables of might.

And when the moon was in her thinnest phase

He left that island in the shipless sea,

No man knew how, nor evermore did he

Return unto its labyrinthine ways.

Still in the dawn’s white fire the shepherd sees

Shapes whiter than the dawn, and whisperings

Sigh through the shadows of the myrtle-trees,

Like to the mutterings of invisible kings

Who speak of blessed, heart-remembered things.
