With longing and beauty and pain:

And again he cried out, "Oh, that music!

That proud and that perilous music!

O God! for that tyrannous strain,

To which in my dreams I have listened,

Ah, God! I have listened in vain!"

And he tossed on the mantle of satin

His deep raven darkness of hair;

And the song at her lips was ungathered,

And she sat there to marvel and stare;
