" Thro' a thousand springs/' said he, ** Mix your memories with me. ** Fire the sap that fills each bud With an essence from my blood. *' When the garden glows with June Use me thro' the scented noon " Till the heat's alchemic art Fashions me in every part. " You, whose petals strew the grass 'Round my lone inverted glass, '' Each impassioned atom mould To a red bloom with core of gold. ** You, whose tendrils, soft as tears, Touch me with remembered years, '^-^.iii' SS^S^^SS^SS^^^S " Where your globing clusters shine Slow distil my dreams to wine ; ** Till by many a sweet rebirth Love and joy transmute my earth, ** Changing me, on some £ar day, To a more ecstatic day, " Whence the Potter's craft sublime Shall mould a shape to outlast Time/' V- mar's body, Omar's soul. Breathe in beauty from this bowl. At whose thronged, mystcr-Ais rim Wan desires, enchantments dim. Tears and laughter, life and death. Fleeing love and fainting breath. Seem to waver like a flame. Dissolve, — yet ever rest the same, Fixed by your art, while art shall be. In passionate immobility. 22 Test 9th street. New York, February, 1901 . il^&^^msmd^mMkhM^m ''%m^
