Night fell, and stars from heaven were hurled, For when this fearful thing was done, It spelt the ruin of a world.
The string whose music won my bays Snapped with a blinding thrill of pain; Through all the everlasting days I shall not hear its note again.
AND OTHER POEMS 49 Amidst the gloom I grope for song; The fires die out that passion fed: Thou art not what I thought thee long, And oh ! I would that I were dead!
Yet worse than all the pain of loss, The smile that seals a traitor's will, Is ...this : that knowing gold for dross, I cannot choose but love thee still I 50 NINEVEH THE SPHINX I Within a sultry deceit land, Where neither flowers nor shadows are, Hid to the breast in shifting sand There stands an image secular.
Where Pharaoh's sceptre gave the laws, The thing that held me captive rests, Strange compound of a panther's claws And of a woman's rounded breasts.
Thus stood she when the princess found The infant in his secret bed; Thus, when the young Bithynian wound The death-wreath for his golden head.
