Excerpt from Songs of Sun and Shadow Spirit, that standest like a Silver star, Pausing in doubt between the night and day, Whether to wander into Space afar, To worlds where fancies amid rainbows play, Or here abide in Heaven's transcendent ray, Mine is the power, if choosing to assume Bright incarnation like a star in spray, Thou willest to be mine, to give thee bloom And beauty like to that which doth the world illume. Yet ere the soft susurrus of Persuasion Breathe its sweet music on the tranced soul, Seemly is it a vision of creation Mine on thy Spirit tremulous Should roll, Informing it with what it would extol.
