glimmering

And then to bed, where half in doze I seem’d

To float about a glimmering night, and watch

A full sea glazed with muffled moonlight, swell

South, east, and north, our skies were all blown bare,

But westward over glimmering holt and heath

For now the deep dense plumes of night are thinned

Surely with winnowing of the glimmering wind

Whose feet are fledged with morning; and the breath

Have played the liar, that whate’er I see,

E’en these white glimmering curtains, yon bright stars,

Which to the rest rain comfort down, for me

Close-kissed and eloquent of still replies

Thy twilight-hidden glimmering visage lies,

And my soul only sees thy soul its own?

Girt in dark growths, yet glimmering with one star,

O night desirous as the nights of youth!

Out of the urgent heat

In some clear glimmering vaulted twilight under the odorous vine.

Glimmering eyes,--and silent, mostly,

Sort of a whisper, sort of a purr,
