Dead metal that for ever strives to hold

The ever-straying wonder of live gold!

Like woodland pools, her eyes, a dreaming brown--

Like woodland pools where autumn-splendours drown!

O red-gold tresses, shaking in the gloam,

Unto your light, unto your shade I come!

GARLAND: Her eyes are azure as the wind-blown sea,

With deep sea-shadowings of grey and green;

And like an April storm her shining hair--

Yea, all the glittering Aprils that have been,
