Algernon Charles Swinburne	A

	-
I	-
	-
In this fair niche above the unslumbering sea	B
That sentrys up and down all night all day	C
From cove to promontory from ness to bay	C
The Fates have fitly bidden that he should be Pillowed eternally	B
	-
II	-
	-
It was as though a garland of red roses	D
Had fallen about the hood of some smug nun	A
When irresponsibly dropped as from the sun	A
In fulth of numbers freaked with musical closes	D
Upon Victoria's formal middle time	E
His leaves of rhythm and rhyme	E
	-
III	-
	-
O that far morning of a summer day	C
When down a terraced street whose pavements lay	C
Glassing the sunshine into my bent eyes	F
I walked and read with a quick glad surprise	F
New words in classic guise	F
	-
IV	-
	-
The passionate pages of his earlier years	G
Fraught with hot sighs sad laughters kisses tears	H
Fresh fluted notes yet from a minstrel who	I
Blew them not naively but as one who knew	I
Full well why thus he blew	I
	-
V	-
	-
I still can hear the brabble and the roar	J
At those thy tunes O still one now passed through	I
That fitful fire of tongues then entered new	I
Their power is spent like spindrift on this shore	J
Thine swells yet more and more	J
	-
VI	-
	-
His singing mistress verily was no other	K
Than she the Lesbian she the music mother	K
Of all the tribe that feel in melodies	L
Who leapt love anguished from the Leucadian steep	M
Into the rambling world encircling deep	M
Which hides her where none sees	L
	-
VII	-
	-
And one can hold in thought that nightly here	N
His phantom may draw down to the water's brim	O
And hers come up to meet it as a dim	O
Lone shine upon the heaving hydrosphere	N
And mariners wonder as they traverse near	N
Unknowing of her and him	O
	-
VIII	-
	-
One dreams him sighing to her spectral form	P
O teacher where lies hid thy burning line	A
Where are those songs O poetess divine	A
Whose very arts are love incarnadine	A
And her smile back Disciple true and warm	P
Sufficient now are thine	A
	-
IX	L
	-
So here beneath the waking constellations	L
Where the waves peal their everlasting strains	L
And their dull subterrene reverberations	L
Shake him when storms make mountains of their plains	L
Him once their peer in sad improvisations	L
And deft as wind to cleave their frothy manes	L
I leave him while the daylight gleam declines	L
Upon the capes and chines	L
	-
