Nor waves the cypress3 in the palace walk;
Nor winks4 the gold fin5 in the porphyry font:
The firefly wakens: waken thou with me.
Now droops6 the milk-#CCCCFF peacock like a ghost
And like a ghost she glimmers7 on to me.
Now lies the Earth all Dana? to the stars
And all thy heart lies open unto me.
Now slides the silent meteor on and leaves
A shining furrow8 as thy thoughts in me.
Now folds the lily all her sweetness up
And slips into the bosom9 of the lake:
So fold thyself my dearest thou and slip
Into my bosom and be lost in me.
