There was no blood upon her maiden robes Sunn'd by those orient skies ; But round about the circles of the globes Of her keen eyes And in her raiment's hem was traced in flame Wisdom, a name to shake Digitized by Google The Poet, 207 All evil dreams of power — a sacred name.
And when she spake, Her words did gather thunder as they ran, And as the lightning to the thunder Which follows it, riving the spirit of man, Making earth wonder, So was their meaning to her words. No sword Of wrath her rig...ht arm whirl' d, But one poor poet's scroll, and with his word She shook the world.

Vex not thou the poet's mind With thy shallow wit : Vex not thou the poet's mind ; For thou canst not fathom it Clear and bright it should be ever, Flowing like a crystal river ; Bright as light, and clear as wind.

Dark-brow*d sophist, come not anear ; All the place is holy ground ; Hollow smile and frozen sneer Come not here.
Holy water will I pour Into every spicy flower Of the laurel-shrubs that hedge it around.
