The blackened skies have reached the garden walk;
Yet my poor heart tonight cannot be not the restlessâ?¦
The lights that have been failed, the lost of sounds talk,
Are they the remnants of the dream in sadness? ...
How dark and heavyâ??s the deliriumâ??s embrace!
How theyâ??re turbid under moon â?? the heights!
To have touched Violin for so many years
And not distinguish those Strings in light! ...
Select a dark night and in a field, unpeopled, naked,
dip into gray twilight.... May the air, having fanned, becalm,
May the stars, winking, in the cold sky slumber on....
Tell the heart not to count its thumps.... ...
My eyes forgot the heavens- blue,
To them the sun-s dust is not gold,
But I live just one substance through,
That-s to the amethyst-s planes owned. ...

Sometimes, to solace my sad heart, I say,
Though late it be, though lily-time be past,
Though all the summer skies be overcast,
Haply I will go down to her, some day,
And cast my rests of life before her feet,
That she may have her will of me, being so sweet
And none gainsay!
