LXXXIII


In the quiet garden world,
  1
Gold sunlight and shadow leaves
Flicker on the wall.

And the wind a moment since
  4
With rose-petals strewed the path
And the open door.

Now the moon-white butterflies
  7
Float across the liquid air,
Glad as in a dream;

And across thy lover's heart
  10
Visions of one scarlet mouth
With its maddening smile.
