A= S the quiet mist enfolds the beech-trees, Even as she dreams her arms enfold me.
Half awaking with a hundred kisses On the scarlet lily of her mouth.
53 XLVI I seek and desire, Even as the wind That travels the plain And stirs in the bloom Of the apple-tree.
I wander through life, With the searching mind That is never at rest, Till I reach the shade Of my lover's door.
54 XLVII II KE torn sea-kelp in the drift -/ Of the great tides of the sea, Carried past the harbour-mouth To the deep beyon...d return, I am buoyed and borne away On the loveliness of earth.
Little caring, save for thee.
Past the portals of the night.
55 XLVIII FINE woven purple linen I brin^ thee from Phocsea, That, beauty upon beauty, A precious ^ift may cover The lap where I have lain.
AND a ^old comb, and girdle, 1^ And trinkets of white silver, And gems are in my sea-chest, Lest poor and empty-handed Thy lover should return.
AND I have brought from Tyre L A Pan-flute stained vermilion, Wherein the gods have hidden Love and desire and longing.
