| | | ONCE more I strip my shroud from me, | |
| Once more unfurl my azure wings, | |
| Pursue athwart the reeling suns | |
| An ever-dancing star that sings | |
| Of madder joys than I have dreamed, | 5 |
| And fiercer griefs than I have borne: | |
| Yet would I burn between her breasts | |
| Behind the curtains of the morn! | | | | |
