Queen Venus on a day of cloud	A
Forsook heaven's argent palaces	B
Beneath the roofing vapours bowed	A
And sought a promontory loud	A
Far in the utmost seas	C
There to a caverned shore she made retreat	D
Where granite shoulders of the mountain slant	E
Down to wet ledges that the waters beat	D
Haunted of gull and diving cormorant	F
Her garment was of green that deeply glowed	G
One foot beneath its fluttering border showed	G
As on a rocky solitary seat	D
Sitting with both hands clasped about her knee	H
She gazed unmoving over restless sea	H
Heard not the wild birds scream and circling soar	I
Up the black cliffs and round their craggy tops	J
But watched the full waves towering toward the shore	I
Heaved up and ever falling in dumb roar	I
And snowed into a thousand stormy drops	J
Gardens of sultry Paphos far away	K
Your doves among the strewn rose petals play	K
But doves nor roses please her heart to day	K
Who child of ocean comes to taste once more	I
The sting and splendour of the ocean spray	K
	-
Out of the cold mist curling	L
The waters onward hurling	L
As if a wizard driving	L
A myriad rebel spirits swept them thither	K
Mounting despairing crying and ever striving	L
Swell toward her feet and in a moment wither	K
But idly in the wells of Venus' eyes	M
Those perishing proud glories fall and rise	M
Like to a mirror where have come and gone	N
Faces of pain and passion nor have left	O
Of all the abandoned story of their sighs	M
An image more than where a moonbeam shone	P
She sees she hearkens but of thought bereft	O
Her gaze holds neither pity fear nor wonder	K
Yet in the exultation and the thunder	K
Of those waves moving as to music rolled	Q
Wherein their briefness is a tone half told	Q
A spirit lives that doth her spirit claim	R
Then she remembers how she also came	R
From deep moved waters tossing and uptorn	P
And 'mid such bitter idle foam was born	P
The serene charm that sets the world aflame	R
