VII. DANTEAN DREAMS.
V.
So, hand in hand, together mov'd we o'erThe flowery fields that crown that holy height;
But these I little mark'd, for soul and sight
Hung on the heav'nly face I saw once more.
We came and stood where from a cavern hoar
Those streams that Dante saw, one crystal-bright,
One dusk-hued but transparent, spring to light.
And part, like brethren at their father's door
Who know too well they ne'er again shall meet.
She bade me kneel and drink; I knelt and quaff'd
The flowing darkness of the duller wave:
Then, stooping, from her hollow'd palm she gave
Thrice to my willing lips the sparkling draught,
For the dear cup that held it doubly sweet.
