Dark Angel, with thine aching lust!
Of two defeats, of two despairs : Less dread, a change to drifting dust,
Than thine eternity of cares.
Do what thou wilt, thou shalt not so, Dark Angel! triumph over me:
Lonely unto the Lone Igo ; Divine, to the Divinity. |

THE LAST MUSIC
C
ALMLY, breathe calmly all your music, maids! Breathe a calm music over my dead queen. All your lives long, you have not heard nor seen Fairer than she, whose hair in sombre braids With beauty overshades Her brow broad and serene.
Surely she hath lain so an hundred years : Peace is upon her, old as the world's heart. Breathe gently, music ! Music done, depart: And leave me in her presence to my tears,
With music in mine ears;
For sorrow hath its art.
Music, more music, sad and slow ! She lies
Dead : and more beautiful than early morn.
Discrowned am I, and of her looks forlorn:
Alone vain memories immortalize
The way of her soft eyes, Her virginal voice low borne. |
