This was my dreamA
-
It seemed the afternoonB
Of some deep tropic day and yet the moonB
Stood round and bright with golden alchemyC
High in a heaven bluer than the seaC
Long lawny lengths of perishable cloudD
Hung in a west o'er rolling forests bowedD
Clouds raining colours gold and violetE
That opening seemed from mystic worlds to letF
Hints down of Parian beauty and lost charmsG
Of dim immortals young with floating formsH
And all about me fruited orchards grewI
Pear quince and peach and plums of dusty blueI
Rose apricots and apples streaked with fireJ
Kissed into ripeness by the sun's desireJ
And big with juice And on far fading hillsK
Down which it seemed a hundred torrent rillsK
Flashed rushing silver vines and vines and vinesK
Of purple vintage swollen with cool winesK
Pale pleasant wines and fragrant as late JuneB
Their delicate tang drawn from the wine white moonB
And from the clouds o'er this sweet world there drippedL
An odorous music strangely feverish lippedL
That swung and swooned and panted in mad sighsK
Investing at each throb the air with eyesK
And forms of sensuous spirits limpid whiteM
Clad on with raiment as of starry nightM
Fair faint embodiments of melodyC
From out whose hearts of crystal one could seeC
The music stream like light through delicate handsK
Hollowing a lamp And as on sounding sandsK
The ocean murmur haunts the rosy shellsK
Within whose convolutions beauty dwellsK
My soul became a vibrant harp of loveN
Re echoing all the harmony aboveN
