And, after that dull masque has changed its guise,

Suppose we make the sun our rendezvous?

Naked and white and beautiful you stand,

Reining your fire-maned coursers with one hand,

And birds are in your laughter as you turn

That gaze of clear perfection to my own,

And meet the petal-kiss that seems to burn,

And makes us less divisible than stone!
