Page 805

Pleasure with pain for leaven,
  Summer with flowers that fell,
Remembrance fallen from heaven,
  And Madness risen from hell,
Strength without hands to smite,
  Love that endures for a breath;
Night, the shadow of light,
  And Life, the shadow of death.

Atalanta in Calydon. Chorus.

7854

His speech is a burning fire.

Atalanta in Calydon. Chorus.

7855

His life is a watch or a vision
Between a sleep and a sleep.

Atalanta in Calydon. Chorus.

7856

At the door of life by the gate of breath,
There are worse things waiting for men than death.

And lo, between the sundawn and the sun
His day’s work and his night’s work are undone:
And lo, between the nightfall and the light,
He is not, and none knoweth of such an one.

Laus Veneris.

7858

Ah, yet would God this flesh of mine might be
Where air might wash and long leaves cover me;
Where tides of grass break into foam of flowers,
Or where the wind’s feet shine along the sea.

Laus Veneris.

7859

Marvellous mercies and infinite love.

Les Noyades.

7860

Forget that I remember
And dream that I forget.

Rococo.

7861

Our way is where God knows
And Love knows where:
We are in Love’s hand to-day.

Love at Sea.

7862

Despair the twin-born of devotion.

Dolores.
