XIII Then, at the drooping of the twilight hour, We wander in the ancient plaza where We breathe the attar of the jasmine flower Like incense on the altar of the air; And list, as music swells Down drifting from the old cathedral tower, The arpeggio of the bells. XIV We linger by the sea-wall while the tide Below us murmurs like a sad refrain, Bearing from outer ocean reaches wide The lore and legend of the Spanish main, Nor leave that spot serene Till Sleep, as with the mantle of the bride, Wr...aps fair Saint Augustine. XV Days dedicate to rapturous things were these; It was as though Youth came again, and brought Past aims, past ardors and past ecstasies, And toward the shrine of Beauty turned our thought And there were after times Of exultation, prismic harmonies, When hours ran by in rhymes. XVI Once, 'mid cathedral Carolinian pines, We saw the Springtide, at its radiant birth, Kindle to fragrant gold the coiling vines, And make a garden of the wakened earth; And every morning heard Within the treetops, melody linked with mirth, The hidden mocking-bird.
