BL( , OF THE BERRY.



And once I see large, lustrous limbs revealed,
  Moth-white and iawny, 'twixt sonorous trees;
  And then a song, faint as of fairy seas,
Lulls all my senses till my eyes are sealed.

                     III.

              MOONRISE AT SEA.

    With lips that were hoarse with a fury
      Of foam and of winds that are strewn,
    Of s. orm and of turbulent hurry,
      Tl-e ocean roared, heralding soon
    A birth of miraculous glory,
      Of madness, affection-the moon.

    And soon from her waist with a slipping
      Aid shudder and clinging of light,
    With a loos'ning and pushing and ripping
      Of the raven-laced bodice of Night,
    With a silence of feet and a dripping
      Tl-e goddess came, virginal white.

    And the air was alive with the twinkle
      Aild tumult of silver-shod feet,
    The hurling of stars, and the sprinkle
      Of loose, lawny limbs and a sweet
    Murmur and whisper and tinkle
      Of beam-weaponed moon spirits fleet.
