FRAGMENT OF AN ODE TO COVENTRY PATMORE

IN A MORTAL GARDEN THEY SET THE POET

[“I know this lady with eyes unholy]

RAN A RILLET, CHILL AT BOSOM

FROM ST. JOHN OF THE CROSS

TO ST. JOHN THE DIVINE

WRITTEN AT THE TIME OF THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR

THE TIME IS NOW

TILL ALL MY LIFE LAY ROUND ME

[Somewhere still ye bide among my long-lost Northern faces]

[For the field is full of shades/shadows as I near the shadowy coasts]

THIS IS MY BELOVED
