Where Arc on Arc the trainèd Planets swirl -
The Astronomic Marvels have no charm For him who walks the Gloaming with his Girl. XCIV The Keeper of the Sky has hasped his Doors, Forgetting Zal's accumulative Roars, And drunk with Night's Elixir, prone he lies In Warp of dreamless Sleep - and Woof of Snores. XCV So must I those soporic Echoes woo When, all my intermittent Joyaunce through, Each Thrill must be a Threnod, as I know That They Who Kiss can teach me nothing New. XCVI |
