Far off, most secret, and inviolate Rose,

Enfold me in my hour of hours; where those

ught thee at the Holy Sepulchre,

the wine-vat, dwell beyond the stir

mult of defeated dreams; and deep

pale eyelids heavy with the sleep

ve named beauty. Your great leaves enfold

cient beards, the helms of ruby and gold

crowned Magi; and the king whose eyes

e Pierced Hands and Rood of Elder rise

id vapour and make the torches dim;

ain frenzy awoke and he died; and him

t Fand walking among flaming dew,

rey shore where the wind never blew,

st the world and Emir for a kiss;

m who drove the gods out of their liss

ll a hundred morns had flowered red

Feasted, and wept the barrows of his dead;

And the proud dreaming king who flung the crown

And sorrow away, and calling bard and clown

Dwelt among wine-stained wanderers in deep woods;

And him who sold tillage and house and goods,

And sought through lands and islands numberless years

Until he found with laughter and with tears

A woman of so shining loveliness

That men threshed corn at midnight by a tress,

A little stolen tress. I too await

The hour of thy great wind of love and hate.

When shall the stars be blown about the sky,

Like the sparks blown out of a smithy, and die?

Surely thine hour has come, thy great wind blows,

Far off, most secret, and inviolate Rose?
