IN THIS FAINT WINDLESS AIR


IN this faint windless air

And dream-suspense

No foaming hound pan scare

Clouds' indolence ;

No thunder barks defiance.

Or rattles chains;

No cyclone seeks alliance

With hurtling rains

To speed like Gengis Khan

Or Tamburlaine,

Levelling palace and barn

In their conquered plain.


October 27, 1936.
