Страница 112 - ... enthrals the earth, And all the waves of the world faint to the moon. Even by such attraction we two rush Together through the everlasting years. Us, then, whose only pain can be to part, How wilt Thou punish ? For what ecstasy Together to be blown about the globe ! What rapture in perpetual fire to burn Together ! — where we are is endless fire. There centuries shall in a moment pass, And all the cycles in one hour elapse ! Still, still together, even when faints Thy sun, And past our souls...
Страница 61 - I cannot go; thrilling from Rimini, A tender voice makes all the trumpets mute. I cannot go from her: may not return. O God! what is Thy will upon me? Ah! One path there is, a straight path to the dark. There, in the ground, I can betray no more, And there for ever am I pure and cold. The means! No dagger blow, nor violence shown Upon my body to distress her eyes. Under some potion gently will I die; And they that find me dead shall lay me down Beautiful as a sleeper at her feet.

Dread her first ecstasy, if one should come That should appear to her half-opened eyes Wonderful as a prince from fairyland Or venturing through forests toward her face — No — do not stride about the room — your limp Is evident the more — come, sit by me As you were wont to sit. Youth goes toward youth.
