Peace ! since I tell thee that it may not be. But sit beside me whilst I soothe thy bale With some moon fancy or celestial tale. Pierrot. Tell me of thee, and that dim, happy place Where lies thine home, with maidens of thy race ! The Lady. (Seating herself. ) Calm is it yonder, very calm ; the air For mortals' breath is too refined and rare ; Hard by a green lagoon onr palace rears Its dome of agate through a myriad years. A hundred chambers its bright walls enthrone, Kach one carved strangely... from a precious stone. Within the fairest, clad in purity, Our mother dwelleth immemorially : Moon-calm, moon-pale, with moon stones on her gown The floor she treads with little pearls is sown ; She sits upon a throne of amethysts, And orders mortal fortunes as she lists ; I, and my sisters, all around her stand, And, when she speaks, accomplish her demand. Pierrot. Methought grim Clotho and her sisters twain THE PIERROT OF THE MINUTE. 35 With shrivelled fingers spun this web of bane ! The Lady.
