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.
