[ 46 ]

Are we? You murmur ‘not’. What of the night

Attack on the dark road we could not contain,

Twice I slid to you sudden as the stain

Joy bloods the wanderer at the water’s sight,

And back, but you writhed on me . . as I write

I tremble . . trust me not to keep on sane

Until you whisper ‘Come to me again’

Unless you whisper soon. O come we soon

Together dark and sack each other outright,

Doomed cities loose and thirsty as a dune . .

Lovers we are, whom now the on-tide licks.

Our fast of famed sleep stirs, darling, diurnal,—

Hurry! till we, beginning our eternal

Junket on the winds, wake like a ton of Styx.
