Chapter II: Of old betwixt the gods and earth 35

Two breasts to her unhappy brood 36

The land’s arms loose me, and I taste 38

What farewell can I wish you now 39

Ah, no! beloved, you part not hence 40

Round this dark ship that bears me on 41

Dark to its nest the light has gone 42

The death-white horses crest and turn 43

Oh, like-unlike, a difference strange 44

Here where the Rome of nations stands 45

Where, perfected in flesh and bone 47

Great Mother, dwelling in the shade 49

In sackcloth shrouds they rise from rest 51

To the Tree of Life on Judgment Day 52

Against my flesh Love hangs to die 53

How this sad place deserted grown 54

This is the grave which year by year 56

From these thy servants who behold 57

“Sing once for joy!” spake Love, and bowed 59

Across these barren clods of clay 60

I, too, hear how the lover sings 62

Only two hands has Love to lend 63

Living, I feel the feet that tread 64

High overhead the clock that tolls 65

Life flutters from the wooded brow 66
