I	A
	-
He who has looked upon Earth	B
Deeper than flower and fruit	C
Losing some hue of his mirth	B
As the tree striking rock at the root	C
Unto him shall the marvellous tale	D
Of Callistes more humanly come	E
With the touch on his breast than a hail	D
From the markets that hum	E
	-
II	A
	-
Now the youth footed swift to the dawn	F
'Twas the season when wintertide	C
In the higher rock hollows updrawn	F
Leaves meadows to bud and he spied	C
By light throwing shallow shade	C
Between the beam and the gloom	G
Sicilian Enna whose Maid	C
Such aspect wears in her bloom	G
Underneath since the Charioteer	H
Of Darkness whirled her away	I
On a reaped afternoon of the year	H
Nigh the poppy droop of Day	I
O and naked of her all dust	C
The majestic Mother and Nurse	J
Ringing cries to the God the Just	C
Curled the land with the blight of her curse	J
Recollected of this glad isle	K
Still quaking But now more fair	H
And momently fraying the while	K
The veil of the shadows there	H
Soft Enna that prostrate grief	L
Sang through and revealed round the vines	M
Bronze orange the crisp young leaf	L
The wheat blades tripping in lines	M
A hue unillumined by sun	F
Of the flowers flooding grass as from founts	M
All the penetrable dun	F
Of the morn ere she mounts	M
	-
III	A
	-
Nor had saffron and sapphire and red	C
Waved aloft to their sisters below	N
When gaped by the rock channel head	C
Of the lake black a cave at one blow	N
Reverberant over the plain	F
A sound oft fearfully swung	O
For the coming of wrathful rain	F
And forth like the dragon tongue	O
Of a fire beaten flat by the gale	D
But more as the smoke to behold	C
A chariot burst Then a wail	D
Quivered high of the love that would fold	C
Bliss immeasurable bigger than heart	C
Though a God's and the wheels were stayed	C
And the team of the chariot swart	C
Reared in marble the six dismayed	C
Like hoofs that by night plashing sea	M
Curve and ramp from the vast swan wave	P
For lo the Great Mother She	M
And Callistes gazed he gave	P
His eyeballs up to the sight	C
The embrace of the Twain of whom	G
To men are their day their night	C
Mellow fruits and the shearing tomb	G
Our Lady of the Sheaves	M
And the Lily of Hades the Sweet	C
Of Enna he saw through leaves	M
The Mother and Daughter meet	C
They stood by the chariot wheel	Q
Embraced very tall most like	R
Fellow poplars wind taken that reel	Q
Down their shivering columns and strike	R
Head to head crossing throats and apart	C
For the feast of the look they drew	H
Which Darkness no longer could thwart	C
And they broke together anew	H
Exulting to tears flower and bud	C
But the mate of the Rayless was grave	P
She smiled like Sleep on its flood	C
That washes of all we crave	P
Like the trance of eyes awake	S
And the spirit enshrouded she cast	C
The wan underworld on the lake	S
They were so and they passed	C
	-
IV	P
	-
He tells it who knew the law	T
Upon mortals he stood alive	P
Declaring that this he saw	T
He could see and survive	P
	-
V	P
	-
Now the youth was not ware of the beams	M
With the grasses intertwined	C
For each thing seen as in dreams	M
Came stepping to rear through his mind	C
Till it struck his remembered prayer	H
To be witness of this which had flown	F
Like a smoke melted thinner than air	H
That the vacancy doth disown	F
And viewing a maiden he thought	C
It might now be morn and afar	H
Within him the memory wrought	C
Of a something that slipped from the car	H
When those the august moved by	A
Perchance a scarf and perchance	M
This maiden She did not fly	A
Nor started at his advance	M
She looked as when infinite thirst	C
Pants pausing to bless the springs	M
Refreshed unsated Then first	C
He trembled with awe of the things	M
He had seen and he did transfer	H
Divining and doubting in turn	F
His reverence unto her	H
Nor asked what he crouched to learn	F
The whence of her whither and why	A
Her presence there and her name	U
Her parentage under which sky	A
Her birth and how hither she came	U
So young a virgin alone	F
Unfriended having no fear	H
As Oreads have no moan	F
Like the lost upon earth no tear	H
Not a sign of the torch in the blood	C
Though her stature had reached the height	C
When mantles a tender rud	C
In maids that of youths have sight	C
If maids of our seed they be	P
For he said A glad vision art thou	V
And she answered him Thou to me	P
As men utter a vow	V
	-
VI	A
	-
Then said she quick as the cries	M
Of the rainy cranes Light light	C
And Helios rose in her eyes	M
That were full as the dew balls bright	C
Relucent to him as dews	M
Unshaded Breathing she sent	C
Her voice to the God of the Muse	M
And along the vale it went	C
Strange to hear not thin not shrill	W
Sweet but no young maid's throat	C
The echo beyond the hill	W
Ran falling on half the note	C
And under the shaken ground	C
Where the Hundred headed groans	M
By the roots of great AEtna bound	C
As of him were hollow tones	M
Of wondering roared a tale	D
Repeated to sunless halls	M
But now off the face of the vale	D
Shadows fled in a breath and the walls	M
Of the lake's rock head were gold	C
And the breast of the lake that swell	X
Of the crestless long wave rolled	C
To shore bubble pebble and shell	X
A morning of radiant lids	M
O'er the dance of the earth opened wide	C
The bees chose their flowers the snub kids	M
Upon hindlegs went sportive or plied	C
Nosing hard at the dugs to be filled	C
There was milk honey music to make	S
Up their branches the little birds billed	C
Chirrup drone bleat and buzz ringed the lake	S
O shining in sunlight chief	P
After water and water's caress	M
Was the young bronze orange leaf	P
That clung to the tree as a tress	M
Shooting lucid tendrils to wed	C
With the vine hook tree or pole	Y
Like Arachne launched out on her thread	C
Then the maiden her dusky stole	Y
In the span of the black starred zone	F
Gathered up for her footing fleet	C
As one that had toil of her own	F
She followed the lines of wheat	C
Tripping straight through the fields green blades	M
To the groves of olive grey	I
Downy grey golden tinged and to glades	M
Where the pear blossom thickens the spray	I
In a night like the snow packed storm	Z
Pear apple almond plum	E
Not wintry now pushing warm	Z
And she touched them with finger and thumb	E
As the vine hook closes she smiled	C
Recounting again and again	F
Corn wine fruit oil like a child	C
With the meaning known to men	F
For hours in the track of the plough	V
And the pruning knife she stepped	C
And of how the seed works and of how	V
Yields the soil she seemed adept	C
Then she murmured that name of the dearth	B
The Beneficent Hers who bade	C
Our husbandmen sow for the birth	B
Of the grain making earth full glad	C
She murmured that Other's the dirge	A2
Of life light for whose dark lap	B2
Our locks are clipped on the verge	A2
Of the realm where runs no sap	B2
She said We have looked on both	C2
And her eyes had a wavering beam	D2
Of various lights like the froth	E2
Of the storm swollen ravine stream	D2
In flame of the bolt What links	M
Were these which had made him her friend	C
He eyed her as one who drinks	M
And would drink to the end	C
	-
VII	V
	-
Now the meadows with crocus besprent	C
And the asphodel woodsides she left	C
And the lake slopes the ravishing scent	C
Of narcissus dark sweet for the cleft	C
That tutors the torrent brook	F2
Delaying its forceful spleen	F
With many a wind and crook	F2
Through rock to the broad ravine	F
By the hyacinth bells in the brakes	M
And the shade loved white windflower half hid	C
And the sun loving lizards and snakes	M
On the cleft's barren ledges that slid	C
Out of sight smooth as waterdrops all	G2
At a snap of twig or bark	H2
In the track of the foreign foot fall	G2
She climbed to the pineforest dark	H2
Overbrowing an emerald chine	F
Of the grass billows Thence as a wreath	I2
Running poplar and cypress to pine	F
The lake banks are seen and beneath	I2
Vineyard village groves rivers towers farms	M
The citadel watching the bay	I
The bay with the town in its arms	M
The town shining white as the spray	I
Of the sapphire sea wave on the rock	J2
Where the rock stars the girdle of sea	P
White ringed as the midday flock	J2
Clipped by heat rings the round of the tree	P
That hour of the piercing shaft	C
Transfixes bough shadows confused	C
In veins of fire and she laughed	C
With her quiet mouth amused	C
To se	M
