They bodied forth my senses' fabulous thirst.

Illusion! which the blue eyes of the first,

As cold and chaste as is the weeping spring,

Beget: the other, sighing, passioning,

Is she the wind, warm in your fleece at noon?

No. Through this quiet, when a weary swoon

Crushes and chokes the latest faint essay

Of morning, cool against the encroaching day,

There is no murmuring water, save the gush

Of my clear fluted notes; and in the hush
