So rife with conscious beauty all the while ^ What could she do but smile At her own perfect loveliness b6low. Glassed in the tranquil flow Of crystal fountains and unrufQed streams? Half lost in waking dreams, l' 162 PAUL HAMILTON HAYNE As down the loneliest forest dell I strayed, Lo! from a neighboring glade. Flashed through the drifts of moonshine, swiftly came A fairy shape of flame. It rose in dazzling spirals overhead, ^^ Whence to wild sweetness wed. Poured marvellous melodies, silvery t...rill on trill; The very leaves grew still On the charmed trees to hearken; while for me. Heart-thrilled to ecstasy, ^° I followed — followed the bright shape that flew. Still circling up the blue. Till as a fountain that has reached its height. Falls back in sprays of light Slowly dissolved, so that enrapturing lay, ^5 Divinely melts away Through tremulous spaces to a music-mist. Soon by the fitful breeze How gently kissed Into remote and tender silences. *** THE PINE'S MYSTERY I Listen ! the sombre foliage of the Pine, A swart Gitana of the woodland trees, Is answering what we may but half divine.
