What shall we do for Love these days	A
How shall we make an altar blaze	A
To smite the horny eyes of men	B
With the renown of our Heaven	C
And to the unbelievers prove	D
Our service to our dear god Love	E
What torches shall we lift above	E
The crowd that pushes through the mire	F
To amaze the dark heads with strange fire	G
I should think I were much to blame	H
If never I held some fragrant flame	H
Above the noises of the world	I
And openly 'mid men's hurrying stares	J
Worshipt before the sacred fears	K
That are like flashing curtains furl'd	I
Across the presence of our lord Love	E
Nay would that I could fill the gaze	A
Of the whole earth with some great praise	A
Made in a marvel for men's eyes	L
Some tower of glittering masonries	L
Therein such a spirit flourishing	M
Men should see what my heart can sing	M
All that Love hath done to me	N
Built into stone a visible glee	N
Marble carried to gleaming height	I
As moved aloft by inward delight	I
Not as with toil of chisels hewn	O
But seeming poised in a mighty tune	O
For of all those who have been known	P
To lodge with our kind host the sun	C
I envy one for just one thing	M
In Cordova of the Moors	L
There dwelt a passion minded King	M
Who set great bands of marble hewers	L
To fashion his heart's thanksgiving	M
In a tall palace shapen so	L
All the wondering world might know	L
The joy he had of his Moorish lass	L
His love that brighter and larger was	L
Than the starry places into firm stone	P
He sent as if the stone were glass	L
Fired and into beauty blown	P
Solemn and invented gravely	N
In its bulk the fabric stood	I
Even as Love that trusteth bravely	N
In its own exceeding good	I
To be better than the waste	I
Of time's devices grandly spaced	I
Seriously the fabric stood	I
But over it all a pleasure went	I
Of carven delicate ornament	I
Wreathing up like ravishment	I
Mentioning in sculptures twined	I
The blitheness Love hath in his mind	I
And like delighted senses were	G
The windows and the columns there	Q
Made the following sight to ache	R
As the heart that did them make	R
Well I can see that shining song	S
Flowering there the upward throng	S
Of porches pillars and windowed walls	L
Spires like piercing panpipe calls	L
Up to the roof's snow cloud flight	I
All glancing in the Spanish light	I
White as water of arctic tides	L
Save an amber dazzle on sunny sides	L
You had said the radiant sheen	T
Of that palace might have been	U
A young god's fantasy ere he came	H
His serious worlds and suns to frame	H
Such an immortal passion	C
Quiver'd among the slim hewn stone	P
And in the nights it seemed a jar	V
Cut in the substance of a star	V
Wherein a wine that will be poured	I
Some time for feasting Heaven was stored	I
But within this fretted shell	W
The wonder of Love made visible	X
The King a private gentle mood	I
There placed of pleasant quietude	I
For right amidst there was a court	I
Where always musk d silences	L
Listened to water and to trees	L
And herbage of all fragrant sort	I
Lavender lad's love rosemary	N
Basil tansy centaury	N
Was the grass of that orchard hid	I
Love's amazements all amid	I
Jarring the air with rumour cool	Y
Small fountains played into a pool	Y
With sound as soft as the barley's hiss	L
When its beard just sprouting is	L
Whence a young stream that trod on moss	L
Prettily rimpled the court across	L
And in the pool's clear idleness	L
Moving like dreams through happiness	L
Shoals of small bright fishes were	N
In and out weed thickets bent	I
Perch and carp and sauntering went	I
With mounching jaws and eyes a stare	N
Or on a lotus leaf would crawl	Z
A brinded loach to bask and sprawl	Z
Tasting the warm sun ere it dipt	I
Into the water but quick as fear	N
Back his shining brown head slipt	I
To crouch on the gravel of his lair	N
Where the cooled sunbeams broke in wrack	A2
Spilt shatter'd gold about his back	A2
So within that green veiled air	N
Within that white walled quiet where	N
Innocent water thought aloud	I
Childish prattle that must make	R
The wise sunlight with laughter shake	R
On the leafage overbowed	I
Often the King and his love lass	L
Let the delicious hours pass	L
All the outer world could see	N
Graved and sawn amazingly	N
Their love's delighted riotise	N
Fixt in marble for all men's eyes	N
But only these twain could abide	I
In the cool peace that withinside	I
Thrilling desire and passion dwelt	I
They only knew the still meaning spelt	I
By Love's flaming script which is	N
God's word written in ecstasies	N
	-
And where is now that palace gone	B2
All the magical skill'd stone	P
All the dreaming towers wrought	I
By Love as if no more than thought	I
The unresisting marble was	N
How could such a wonder pass	N
Ah it was but built in vain	C2
Against the stupid horns of Rome	D2
That pusht down into the common loam	D2
The loveliness that shone in Spain	C2
But we have raised it up again	B
A loftier palace fairer far	N
Is ours and one that fears no war	N
Safe in marvellous walls we are	N
Wondering sense like builded fires	N
High amazement of desires	N
Delight and certainty of love	E
Closing around roofing above	E
Our unapproacht and perfect hour	N
Within the splendours of love's power	N
