As I did rove in blinded night,
Raying the sward, in slender ring,
A cirque I saw whose crystal light
Tranced my despair with glittering.
Slender its gold; in hues of dream
Its jewels burned, smiting my eyes
Like wings that flit about the stream
That waters Paradise.
Sorrow broke in my heart to see
A thing so lovely; and I heard
Cry from its dark security
A 'wildered bird.
