ONE look beyond the prison-walls,

Dream song unseized by ears of flesh—

And this all future Time enthralls,

And spins round Space a starry mesh.

This touch the Everliving send

Endures beyond the wreck of world ;

Sped from the bow no mortals bend,

This arrow-truth on Maya hurled.

O kiss from lips of spirit-flame,

Embrace of limbs so dazzling fair,

Gesture that out of Brightness came

And spilt a fragrance on the air—

Seal with a loveliness of dream

Time-gleanings of your deathless theme.
