First Line: As down the purple of the night
Last Line: Too long delayed and hurrying on.
Subject(s): Meteors
As down the purple of the night
I watch the flaring meteors race,
The gorgeous Bedouins of the dusk
Making across the glooms of space,
To my fantastic heart's unrest
That would be gay, that would be gone,
They seem like trysting lovers' souls
Too long delayed and hurrying on.
