IA
A sunfort flourished in my sunless heartB
Beyond the Sun Here in a tower apartB
The sunbirds of my lady's eyes were cagedC
Alas poor targets for the sun god's dartB
-
IIA
-
The Sun at Chartres seen through an open doorD
Was like a nest wherein I hatched a scoreD
Of red gold sun thoughts Now unheraldedE
They change to sun nymphs on my heart's dark shoreD
-
IIIA
-
The Sun at noon is like a pool of goldF
Towards whose uncertain brink the clouds have rolledF
To quench their thirst Likewise the invisible windsG
Drink fire and all my heart is sun consoledF
-
IV-
-
Like to a giant dragon in his cageH
Of clouds the Sun in unconceal d rageH
Glares down across the magic of the worldI
Intent upon this untried pasturageH
-
V-
-
The Sun is a red arrow plunged to restJ
In the dark target of the sea's wild breastJ
But morning shall unveil the gentle sceneK
Of sun girls bathing in a palimpsestJ
