[II
She is the sea's star-smitten amethyst;]
She is the sea's star-smitten amethyst;She is the light of long, incredible
Sunsets; she is the myth and miracle
Of love and Love is life's protagonist.
She is the soul and tragic heart of youth;
She is the dreams and raptures that foretell,
In legend, lyric, poem and parable,
The spacious and supreme vision of Truth.
In life's last desolation and distress
She is the touch that sets the Door ajar;
She is the peace, she is the passionless
Chill wonder of the Night's infinite breath;
She is the nameless light, the mystic star
In the illimitable skies of Death.
