Crying an incantation—learned, Where? When?...

White swirled the foam, a fount, a blinding gleam

Of ice-cold breast, cruel eyes, wild mouth—and then

A still dirge echoing on from dream to dream.

MOURN'ST THOU NOW?

LONG ago from radiant palace,

Dream-bemused, in flood of moon,

Stole the princess Seraphita

Into forest gloom.

Wail of hemlock; cold the dewdrops;
