I	A
	-
Thy dark eyes open'd not	B
Nor first reveal'd themselves to English air	C
For there is nothing here	D
Which from the outward to the inward brought	E
Moulded thy baby thought	E
Far off from human neighborhood	F
Thou wert born on a summer morn	G
A mile beneath the cedar wood	F
Thy bounteous forehead was not fann'd	H
With breezes from our oaken glades	I
But thou wert nursed in some delicious land	H
Of lavish lights and floating shades	I
And flattering thy childish thought	E
The oriental fairy brought	E
At the moment of thy birth	J
From old well heads of haunted rills	I
And the hearts of purple hills	I
And shadow'd coves on a sunny shore	K
The choicest wealth of all the earth	J
Jewel or shell or starry ore	K
To deck thy cradle Eleanore	K

II	A
	-
Or the yellow banded bees	I
Thro' half open lattices	I
Coming in the scented breeze	I
Fed thee a child lying alone	L
With whitest honey in fairy gardens cull'd	M
A glorious child dreaming alone	L
In silk soft folds upon yielding down	N
With the hum of swarming bees	I
Into dreamful slumber lull'd	M

	-
Who may minister to thee	O
Summer herself should minister	P
To thee with fruitage golden rinded	M
On golden salvers or it may be	O
Youngest Autumn in a bower	P
Grape thicken'd from the light and blinded	M
With many a deep hued bell like flower	P
Of fragrant trailers when the air	C
Sleepeth over all the heaven	Q
And the crag that fronts the even	R
All along the shadowing shore	K
Crimsons over an inland mere	S

	-
How may full sail'd verse express	I
How may measured words adore	K
The full flowing harmony	O
Of thy swan like stateliness	I
	-
Eleanore	K
	-
The luxuriant symmetry	O
Of thy floating gracefulness	I
	-
Eleanore	K
	-
Every turn and glance of thine	U
Every lineament divine	U
	-
Eleanore	K
	-
And the steady sunset glow	V
That stays upon thee For in thee	O
Is nothing sudden nothing single	W
Like two streams of incense free	O
From one censer in one shrine	U
Thought and motion mingle	W
Minge ever Motions flow	V
To one another even as tho'	O
They were modulated so	V
To an unheard melody	O
Which lives about thee and a sweep	X
Of richest pauses evermore	K
Drawn from each other mellow deep	X
Who may express thee Eleanore	K

V	O
	-
I stand before thee Eleanore	K
I see thy beauty gradually unfold	M
Daily and hourly more and more	K
I muse as in a trance the while	Y
Slowly as from a cloud of gold	M
Comes out thy deep ambrosial smile	Y
I muse as in a trance whene'er	K
The languors of thy love deep eyes	I
Float on to me I would I were	K
So tranced so rapt in ecstasies	I
To stand apart and to adore	K
Gazing on thee for evermore	K
Serene imperial Eleanore	K
	-

VI	T
	-
Sometimes with most intensity	O
Gazing I seem to see	O
Thought folded over thought smiling asleep	X
Slowly awaken'd grow so full and deep	X
In thy large eyes that overpower'd quite	M
I cannot veil or droop my sight	M
But am as nothing in its light	M
As tho' a star in inmost heaven set	M
Even while we gaze on it	M
Should slowly round his orb and slowly grow	K
To a full face there like a sun remain	Z
Fix'd then as slowly fade again	A2
And draw itself to what it was before	K
So full so deep so slow	K
Thought seems to come and go	K
In thy large eyes imperial Eleanore	K
	-

VII	T
	-
As thunder clouds that hung on high	T
Roof'd the world with doubt and fear	K
Floating thro' an evening atmosphere	K
Grow golden all about the sky	T
In thee all passion becomes passionless	O
Touch'd by thy spirit's mellowness	O
Losing his fire and active might	M
In a silent meditation	Q
Falling into a still delight	M
And luxury of contemplation	Q
As waves that up a quiet cove	T
Rolling slide and lying still	B2
Shadow forth the banks at will	B2
Or sometimes they swell and move	T
Pressing up against the land	M
With motions of the outer sea	O
And the self same influence	O
Controlleth all the soul and sense	O
Of Passion gazing upon thee	O
His bow string slacken'd languid Love	T
Leaning his cheek upon his hand	M
Droops both his wings regarding thee	O
And so would languish evermore	K
Serene imperial Eleanore	K
	-

VIII	T
	-
But when I see thee roam with tresses unconfined	M
While the amorous odorous wind	M
Breathes low between the sunset and the moon	C2
Or in a shadowy saloon	C2
On silken cushions half reclined	M
I watch thy grace and in its place	O
My heart a charmed slumber keeps	O
While I muse upon thy face	O
And a languid fire creeps	O
Thro' my veins to all my frame	D2
Dissovlingly and slowly Soon	C2
From thy rose red lips MY name	D2
Floweth and then as in a swoon	C2
With dinning sound my ears are rife	T
My tremulous tongue faltereth	O
I lose my color I lose my breath	O
I drink the cup of a costly death	O
Brimm'd with delirious draughts of warmest life	T
I die with my delight before	K
I hear what I would hear from thee	O
Yet tell my name again to me	O
I would be dying evermore	K
So dying ever Eleanore	K
