The tuberose thickens the air a swoon	A
lies close on open'd calyx and slipt sheath	B
thro' all the garden bosom bound beneath	B
dense night that hangs her own perturbing moon	A
no star and heaven and earth seeking their boon	A
meet in this troubled blood whereunder seethe	C
cravings of darkling bliss whose fumes enwreathe	C
some rose of rare reveal'd delight oh soon	A
Ay surely near the hour consents to bless	D
and nearer yet all ways of night converge	E
in that delicious dark between her breasts	F
whom night and bloom and wayward blood confess	D
where all the world's desire is wild to merge	E
its multitude of single suffering nests	F
	-
Cloth'd now with dark alone O rose and balm	G
whence unto world sear'd youth is healing boon	A
what lures the tense dark round thy pulsing calm	G
Or does that flood tide of luxurious noon	A
richly distill'd for thy sweet nutriment	H
now traitor hearken to some secret moon	A
Eve's wifely guise her dower that Eden lent	H
now limbeck where the enamour'd alchemist	H
invokes the rarer rose phantom descent	H
thy dewy essence where the suns persist	H
is alter'd by occult yet natural rite	H
among thy leaves it was the night we kiss'd	H
Rare ooze of odour drowns our faint delight	H
some spilth of love that languishes unshared	H
a rose that bleeds unseen the heart of night	H
whose sweetness holds us wondering ensnared	H
for cunning she the outcast to entice	I
to wake with her remembering how she fared	H
in times before our time when Paradise	I
shone once the dew gem in her heart and base	J
betrayal gave her to the malefice	J
that all thro' time afflicts her lonely face	J
and all the mournful widowhood of night	H
closed round her and the wilderness of space	J
O bleeding rose alone O heart of night	H
	-
This is of Lilith by her Hebrew name	K
Lady of Night she in the delicate frame	K
that was of woman after did unite	H
herself with Adam in unblest delight	H
who uncapacious of that dreadful love	L
begat on her not majesty as Jove	L
but the worm brood of terrors unconfest	H
that chose henceforth as their avoided nest	H
the mire fed writhen thicket of the mind	H
She monsterward from that embrace declined	H
could change her to Chimera and inspire	M
doubt of his garden state exciting higher	N
the arrowy impulse to dim descried	H
o'erhuman bliss as after on the wide	H
way of his travail with enticing strain	O
and hint of nameless things reveal'd a bane	O
haunted the fabled siren and was seen	P
later as Lamia and Melusine	P
and whatsoe'er of serpent wives is feign'd	H
or malice of the vampire witch that drain'd	H
fresh blood of fresh born babes a wicked blast	H
faces of fear beheld along the past	H
and in the folk's scant fireside lore misread	H
of her that is the august and only dread	H
close dwelling in the house of birth and death	C
and closer in the secrets of our breath	C
or love occult whose smile eludes our sight	H
in her flung hair that is the starry night	H
