Dear Mona, asleep by the wonder well
Where moon-woven flax spins the thread to tie
Into the star-mured haven where you dwell,
That strange realm where transcendent singers lie;
Hidden by thin waxen curtains, your eyes
Are so strangely veiled from the strident day,
That javelins from the midnight skies
Cannot pierce and disturb your tranquil way.
Dear vague dream-dreamer, by your still, cold side
There must be burning candles warm and bright,
I would not ask again that you should ride
Under the chilling clouds of yester-night;
For snooded in death's perfect cloth-repose,
Singing no more, you have left me ... a rose.
