Have you found me, at last, O my Dream? Seven aeons ago You died and I buried you deep under forests of snow. Why have you come hither? Who bade you awake from your sleep And track me beyond the cerulean foam of the deep?
Would you tear from my lintels these sacredgreen garlands of leaves? Would you scare the white, nested, wildpigeons of joy from my eaves? Would you touch and defile with dead fingersthe robes of my priest? Would you weave your dim moan with thechantings of love at my feast?
Go back to your grave, O my Dream, under forests of snow, Where a heart-riven child hid you once, seven aeons ago. Who bade you arise from your darkness? I bid you depart! Profane not the shrines I have raised in theclefts of my heart.
