And windows, and forlornly turning in

Where nothing was but darkness; and in darkness,

Nothing but cobwebs.

Smiling a last smile,

Vindictive, at the sitter, she uprose

And scented the whole night, the outer night

Of fields and barns and houses, as she flew

And flew, tinting earth with a false dawn

As in her brilliant singleness she flew

And flew to be the first where Hermes came.
