Tonight the moon, by languorous memories obsessed
Lies pensive and awake: a sleepless beauty amid
The tossed and multitudinous cushions of her bed
Caressing with an abstracted hand the curve of her breast
Surrendered to her deep sadness as to a lover, for hours
She lolls in the bright luxurious disarray of the sky โ
Haggard, entranced โ and watches the small clouds float by
Uncurling indolently in the blue air like flowers
ย
When now and then upon this planet she lets fall
Out of her idleness and sorrow, a secret tear
Some poet โ an enemy of slumber, musing apart โ
ย
Catches in his cupped hands the unearthly tribute, all
Fiery and iridescent like an opal's sphere
And hides it from the sun for ever in his heart
