I fled him down the nights and down the
days I fled him down the arches of the
years I fled him down the labyrinthine
ways of my own mind and in the midst of
tears I hid from him and under running
laughter up visted hopes I sped and shot
precipitated and down Titanic glooms of
casmed fears from those strong feet that
followed followed after but with UNH
harrying Chase and unperturbed Pace
deliberate speed Majestic instancy they
beat and a voice Beat more instant than
the feet all things betray thee who
betray me I pleaded Outlaw Wise by many
a hearted casement curtain red trellised
with intertwining charities for though I
knew his love who followed yet was I
sore a dread lest having him I must have
not beside but if one little casement
parted wide the gust of his approach
would Clash it to fear Wiis not to evade
as love Wiis to pursue across the margin
of the world I fled and troubled the
gold gateways of the Stars smiting for
shelter on their clanged bars threed
dulet jars and silver and chatter the
pale ports of the Moon I said to Dawn be
sudden to Eve be soon with thy young Sky
blossoms he me over from this tremendous
lover float thy vague veil about me lest
he see I tempted all his servitors but
to find my own betrayal in their
constancy in faith to him their
fickleness to me their traitorous tress
and their Lal deceit to all Swift things
for swiftness did I sue clung to the
whistling Mane of every wind but whether
they swept smoothly Fleet the long
savanas of the blue or whether Thunder
driven they clanged his Chariot thwart
to heaven plashy with flying Lightnings
around the spurn of their feet fear wish
not to evade as love wish to pursue
still with un hurrying Chase and
unperturbed Pace delivered it speed
Majestic instancy came on the following
feet and a voice above their beat not
shelters thee who will not shelter me I
sought no more that after which I
strayed in face of man or maid but still
within the little children's eyes seem
something something that replies they at
least are for me surely for me I turn me
to them very wistfully but just as their
young eyes grew sudden and fair with
Dawning answers there their angel
plucked them from me by the hair come
then ye other children Nature's share
with me said I your delicate Fellowship
let me greet you lip to lip let me twine
with you caresses wening with our lady
mother's vagrant Tresses banqueting with
her in a wind walled Palace underneath
her azured dares quaffing as your
taintless ways from a chalice loosen
weeping out of the Dayspring so it was
done I in their delicate Fellowship was
one drew the bolt of Nature's secrecies
I knew all the Swift importing on the
willful face of skies I knew how the
clouds arise SPID of the wild sea
snortings all that's born or D Rose and
drooped with made them Shapers of my own
moods or wful or Divine with them joyed
and was B I was Heavy with the even when
she lit her glimmering tapers round the
day's dead sanctities I love laughed in
the morning's eyes I triumphed and I
saddened with all weather heaven and I
wept together and its sweet tears was
sought with Mortal mine against the red
throb of its Sunset heart I laid my own
to beat and share com mingling heat but
not by that by that was eased my human
Smart in vain my tears were wet on
Heaven's gray cheek for ah we know not
what each other says these things and I
in sound I speak their sound is but
their stir they speak by silences nature
poor step D cannot slake my drought let
her if she would owe me drop yond blue
bosom veil of sky and show me the
breasts of her tenderness never did any
milk of hers once bless my thirsting
mouth nigh and nigh draws the chase with
unperturbed Pace deliberate speed
Majestic instancy and past those noised
feet a voice comes yet more Fleet Lo not
contents thee who contents not me
naked I wait thy Love's uplifted stroke
my harness Peace by peace thou Hast heun
from me and smitten me to my knee I am defenseless
defenseless
utterly I slept me thinks and woke and
slowly gazing find me stripped in sleep
in the rash Lusty head of my young Paws
I shook the pillaring eyes and pulled my
life upon me grimed with smears I stand
amid the dust or the mounded ears my
mangled youth lies dead beneath the Heap
my days have crackled and gone up in
smoke have puffed and burst as Sun
starts on a stream yay fath now even
dream the dreamer and the loot the
lutenist even the linked fantasies in
whose blossomy twist I swung the earth a
trinket at my wrist are yielding cords
of all too weak account for Earth with
heavy grief so overplus ah is thy love
indeed a weak allbe it an amaranthine
weed suffering no flowers except its own
to mount AR must designer infinite AR
must thou Char the wood a thou can limb
with it my freshness spent its wavering
shower in the dust and now my heart is
as a broken Fountain wherein tear
dripping stagnate spilt down ever from
the Dank thoughts that shiver upon the
sful branches of my mind such is what is
to be the pulp so bitter how shall taste
the rice
I dimly guess what time in Mists
confounds yet ever and Anon a trumpet
sounds from the head battlements of
Eternity though shaken Mists a space
unsettled then round the half glimpsed
turrets slowly wash again but not a him
who summon I first have seen en wound
with glooming robes peral Cyprus Crown
his name I know and what his trumpet
Seth whether man's heart or life it be
which yields thee Harvest must thy
Harvest Fields be D
with rotten death now of that long
Pursuit comes on at hand The Brute that
voices round me like a bursting sea and
is thy Earth so M shattered in Shard on
Shard low all things fly thee for thou
flyest me strange Pious futile thing
wherefore should any set thee love apart
seeing none but I makes much of not he
said and human love needs human meriting
how hast thou merited of all man's
clotted clay the dingiest clot haac thou
knowest not how little worthy of any
love thou art whom wil thou find to love
ignoble thee save me save only me all
which I took from Thee I did but take
not for thy arms but just that thou
might seek it in my arms all which thy
child's mistake fancies as lost I have
