Text Appearing Before Image:
AS I DID ROVE. As I did rove in blinded night,Raying the sward, in slender ring,A cirque I saw whose crystal lightTranced my despair with glittering. Slender its gold j in hues of dreamIts jewels burred, smiting my eyesLike wings that flit about the streamThat waters Paradise. Sorrow broke in my heart to seeA thing so lovely ; and I heardCry from its dark securityA wildered bird. I GO HOME. My mistress dreams—and me forgot;For parlour silk I cannot care ; Abroad she will not roam.But birds invite to sandy grot ;Good warren folk awake me there ; So / go home. My mistress sprights flown out of house.Her shoe scarce prints the painted mat ; She dreams of fay and gnome,And such as in full moon carouse :So, soft, tap this foot, softlier that— And / go home.

I GO HOME. THE PATH Is it an abbey that I see Hard-by that tapering poplar-tree,Whereat that path hath end ?Tis wondrous stillThat empty hill,Yet calls me, friend. Smooth is the turf, serene the sky. The timeworn, crumbling roof awry ;Within that Turret slimHangs there a bellWhose faint notes knell ?Do colours dim Burn in that angled window there,Grass-green, and crimson, azure rare ? Would, from that narrow door, One, looking in, See, gemlike, shine On walls and floor Candles whose aureole flames must seemSo still they burn to burn in dream ?And do they cry, and say, See, stranger ; come ) Here is thy home ; No longer stray J
