My eyes lit for the first time on the Queen,

Who sat upon the daïs, by her lord

Half-shadowed, on a throne of ivory,

And all the hate died in me, as I saw

The face that hovered over me in dream,

When I had slept beneath the low-boughed cedar:

The moon-pale brows, o'er which the clustered hair

Hung like the smoke of torches, ruddy-gold,

Against a canopy of peacock plumes:

The deep brown, burning eyes,
