I	A
	-
In that fair capital where Pleasure crowned	B
Amidst her myriad courtiers riots and rules	C
I too have been a suitor Radiant eyes	D
Were my life's warmth and sunshine outspread arms	E
My gilded deep horizons I rejoiced	F
In yielding to all amorous influence	G
And multiple impulsion of the flesh	H
To feel within my being surge and sway	I
The force that all the stars acknowledge too	J
Amid the nebulous humanity	K
Where I an atom crawled and cleaved and sundered	K
I saw a million motions but one law	L
And from the city's splendor to my eyes	D
The vapors passed and there was nought but Love	M
A ferment turbulent intensely fair	N
Where Beauty beckoned and where Strength pursued	K
	-
II	A
	-
There was a time when I thought much of Fame	O
And laid the golden edifice to be	K
That in the clear light of eternity	K
Should fitly house the glory of my name	O
	-
But swifter than my fingers pushed their plan	P
Over the fair foundation scarce begun	Q
While I with lovers dallied in the sun	Q
The ivy clambered and the rose vine ran	P
	-
And now too late to see my vision rise	D
In place of golden pinnacles and towers	R
Only some sunny mounds of leaves and flowers	R
Only beloved of birds and butterflies	D
	-
My friends were duped my favorers deceived	K
But sometimes musing sorrowfully there	N
That flowered wreck has seemed to me so fair	N
I scarce regret the temple unachieved	K
	-
III	A
	-
For there were nights my love to him whose brow	S
Has glistened with the spoils of nights like those	T
Home turning as a conqueror turns home	U
What time green dawn down every street uprears	T
Arches of triumph He has drained as well	V
Joy's perfumed bowl and cried as I have cried	K
Be Fame their mistress whom Love passes by	A
This only matters from some flowery bed	K
Laden with sweetness like a homing bee	K
If one have known what bliss it is to come	W
Bearing on hands and breast and laughing lips	T
The fragrance of his youth's dear rose To him	X
The hills have bared their treasure the far clouds	T
Unveiled the vision that o'er summer seas	T
Drew on his thirsting arms This last thing known	Y
He can court danger laugh at perilous odds	T
And pillowed on a memory so sweet	K
Unto oblivious eternity	K
Without regret yield his victorious soul	Z
The blessed pilgrim of a vow fulfilled	K
	-
IV	M
	-
What is Success Out of the endless ore	A2
Of deep desire to coin the utmost gold	K
Of passionate memory to have lived so well	V
That the fifth moon when it swims up once more	A2
Through orchard boughs where mating orioles build	K
And apple flowers unfold	K
Find not of that dear need that all things tell	V
The heart unburdened nor the arms unfilled	K
	-
O Love whereof my boyhood was the dream	B2
My youth the beautiful novitiate	K
Life was so slight a thing and thou so great	K
How could I make thee less than all supreme	B2
In thy sweet transports not alone I thought	K
Mingled the twain that panted breast to breast	K
The sun and stars throbbed with them they were caught	K
Into the pulse of Nature and possessed	K
By the same light that consecrates it so	T
Love 'tis the payment of the debt we owe	T
The beauty of the world and whensoe'er	A2
In silks and perfume and unloosened hair	A2
The loveliness of lovers face to face	T
Lies folded in the adorable embrace	T
Doubt not as of a perfect sacrifice	T
That soul partakes whose inspiration fills	T
The springtime and the depth of summer skies	T
The rainbow and the clouds behind the hills	T
That excellence in earth and air and sea	K
That makes things as they are the real divinity	K
