Hast builded on what Islands of Repose!

Vague onyx columns ranked Corinthian,

Or piled Ionic, colonnading heights

That loom above long burst of mythic seas:

Vast gynaeceums of carnelian;

Micaceous temples, far marmorean flights,

Where winds the arabesque and plastique frieze.

Where bulbous domes of coruscating ore

Cloud—like convulsive sunsets—lands that dream,

Myrrh-fragrant, over siren seas and hoar,
