Above the cold Cordilleras hung The wingtd eagle and the Moon The gold, snow-throated orchid sprung From gloom where peers the dark baboon The Himalayas white, rapt brows The jewel-eyed bear that threads their caves The lush plains lowing herds of cows That Shadow entering human graves All these like stars in Time are set, They vanish but can never pass The Sun that with them fades is yet Fast-fixed as they in Time like glass. THE NAVIGATORS I S A W the bodies of earths men Like wharves thrust in the stream of time Whereon cramped navigators climb And free themselves in the warm sun With outflung arms and shouts ofjoy Those spirits tramped their human planks Then pressing close, reforming ranks, They pushed off in the stream again Cold darkly rotting lay the wharves, Decaying in the stream of time Slow windinp silver tracks of slime Showed bright here came back none.

WALKING ON THE SEASHORE TOWARDS HER LOVER I SAW Night striding white-limbed from the sea Across the pale, wet sand. The Sun shone still Over the yellow fields translucent trees Bathed on the cliffs, dropping deep purple veils Upon mauve rocks worn glassy by the tide. A fringe of foam blurred softly on the shore Whence rose the faint susurrus of the sphere That hangs in space, quired by the flocking waves. I looked and thought to see the silver Moon High on the rocky shoulder of the bay, But the bright corn, a sea of greenish gold Asleep in the Suns eye, very slowly heaved And then I knew I looked upon my love Who steals like Night into a sunny world And dulls the days bright girdle of stone hills. Nearer she came the Sun went slowly out, And all the bright sea shrank into her gaze, Wherein I saw the stars untimely stream With many shining waters panoplied...
