All sleeping nature in morpheant calm From your darling breath takes contagion And teaches the sacred ache looming in your smile,-- Infinite fragment of all divine principle,-- 5 To rhododendrons balled against unsifted snow And, abrupt pupil, injects january's fricatives With august's unadulterated ululations. You demand the encrypting eye espouse Arrant whims of celluloid fire-- 10 Prised from the uncomprehending tilt Of all these elemental longings I pursue, Arced within our finer breast. Or did. How in the torn winds resuscitate This abandoned grace? 15 Her spirit lifts a spiral fire Whose vivid wish may once consent to touch Enduing mists with acerose light. Still is it her-- in this trenchant whirl gone blue, Alive in this misprision that you chase, 20 Spinning virulent coils grasping After this abiding prayer?
