Fronting the sea's blue chambers fluctuant	A
Those floors of azure marble veined with foam	B
It rears a golden palace culminant	A
In cusp of tower and round of dome	B
	-
Naught but the ocean's music echoes there	C
No lutes pervade its halls with mirth and sigh	D
And glances lone through close and pleasance fair	C
The velvet figured butterfly	D
	-
Within in silence tapestried and old	A
And dusk that lingers through the widest day	A
Are heap d treasure chests that spilling hold	A
Jewels of iris chang d ray	A
	-
Here caskets weirdly wrought are prodigal	E
Of hue tempestuous opals and the fire	F
A pulse of crystal in the somber hall	G
Wherewith the diamonds aspire	H
	-
Deep sapphires clouded to the core with blue	I
Beryls that blend the fire of sky and sea	J
And slumberous rubies with a burst of hue	I
Arousing intermittently	J
	-
They wage a truceless war within the gloom	K
Each with its swift and varying beam for lance	L
A kindling strife that runs from room to room	K
With hues that waver or advance	L
	-
The diamonds' front of shifting onset leaps	M
Where lambent rubies lurk athwart with spears in sunset dipt	A
each line a flame that creeps	M
Alternate glows and disappears	N
	-
A flare that stabs like some keen battle call	G
Upstartles 'mid the hesitating strife	O
With rush of beams that clash triumph or fall	G
The jewels leap to myriad life	O
	-
Against the gloom their irised swords unite	A
With shadow sundering blades and points that fret	A
From flickering looms they scatter wefts of light	A
To catch the dusk as in a net	A
	-
Uneasily the twilight edges start	A
Before the balas ruby's orange ire	H
Or mimic lightning from the diamond's heart	A
Whose blood is everlasting fire	F
	-
Poured through the vessels of their alchemy	J
The daylight is become a gorgeous thing	P
A flame that soars and falls unquietly	G
A spirit of a coloured wing	P
	-
What dawns and sunsets march from room to room	K
Beneath the noon or twilight of the sky	D
What jewels fed with many suns illume	K
Make each a mimic day and die	D
	-
Like blood within a vein the sunlight swirls	Q
Racing from gem to gem with fires that wed	A
Mysterious ocean sad dream haunted pearls	Q
And heliotropes stabbed through with red	A
	-
Or run where vistaed amethysts enfold	A
Their flame with purple of some vague confine	R
And overbrimming ruby flagons hold	A
The light like some deep glowing wine	R
	-
Through evening halls the scattered jewels burn	S
Like broken chains of fire within the night	A
Till comes the moon and from her heavenly urn	S
Bestows a stream of subtler light	A
	-
On gems that seem some clear and stellar dew	A
Orbed in the regions past the springs of morn	T
And gems like magic flowers that fold anew	A
In lands beyond the sunset bourn	T
