And those eyes of violet dusk and daylight

Under sea-water,

Eyes too far away, and too full of longing!

Yes: and go not heavenward where I lose thee,

Go not, go not whither I cannot follow,

Being but earthly.

Willing swallow poisèd upon my finger,

Little wild-wing ever from me escaping,

For the care thou art to me, I thy lover

Love thee, and fear thee.
