Through that strange void and vast | B |
Brimmed with dying day | A |
Away | A |
So that I feel | C |
Only the wind | D |
Of the world's swift rolling wheel | C |
- | |
See what a maze | E |
Of whirling rays | E |
The sharp wind | D |
Weakens the air | F |
Is but thin air | F |
Not fume and flying fire | G |
O heart's desire | G |
Now thou art still | H |
And the air chill | H |
- | |
And but a stem | I |
Of clear cold light | J |
Shines in this stony dark | K |
Farewell world of sense | L |
Too fair too fair | F |
To be so false | M |
Hence hence | L |
Rosy memories | N |
Delight of ears hands eyes | O |
Rise | O |
When I bid O thou | P |
Tide of the dark | K |
Whelming the pale last | B |
Reflection of that vast | B |
Too fair deceit | Q |
- | |
Ah sweet | Q |
To miss the vexing heat | Q |
Of the heart's desire | G |
Only to know | R |
All's lost lost | S |
Sweet | Q |
To know the lack of sweet | Q |
- | |
Thou fool | T |
See how the steady dark | K |
Is filled with eyes | O |
Eyes that smile | U |
Hot then how cool | T |
Eyes that were stars till thou | P |
Mad'st them eyes | O |
O the tormenting | V |
Look the unrelenting | V |
Passionate kiss | W |
Of their wild light on thine | X |
Light of thine eyes | O |
- | |
As if one could | Y |
Loathe the world for too much sweetness | Z |
All the air's a flame | A2 |
Wonderful yet the same | A2 |
Thou'st hated | B2 |
Being briefly sated | C2 |
With sweet of sweetness | Z |
- | |
Forgive a heart whose madness | Z |
Was not of madness born | D2 |
But of mere wild | E2 |
Waste of desire | G |
Who does not know | R |
One speaks so or so | R |
Out of mere passion | F2 |
That sees not love | G2 |
From hate nor life from death | H2 |
Nor hell from heaven | F2 |
- | |
In the East oh that flashed | I2 |
Brightness past | B |
The loveliness even | J2 |
Of sunset's flush | K2 |
