IV.
Sun of rubies, radiant wine.
Melt my being into thine !
So my dream of death shall bless Memory with forgetfalness.
No more weary, wasting thought On a past so folly-fraught !
No more dreams of love-lit eyes, Silken hair, and tender sighs.
And wild kisses sweet, that shake The frame of being I — poor mistake !
LETHE. 6l Nor that other, just as poor, — Toil for praise of sage or boor ; Fire, that burnishes a crown.
Fire, that burns a kingdom down.
Fire, that ravages his breast Who takes ambi...tion for its guest !
But at last, instead of these.
Sunset cloud and evening breeze.
Holy starlight shining dim, Organ wail, and vesper hymn.
Cypress wreath, and asphodels, Gentle toll of distant bells, — All that makes the sleeper blest, In a bed of endless rest.
V.
When this farce of life is o'er, Are we fretted any more ?
Do they rest, I'd like to know.
Under grass or under snow, Who have gone thett quiet way You and I must go, some day ?
If they do, it seems to me Happy were it thus to be.
