"Time, like a flurry of wild rain, Shall drift across the darkened pane!"
"When the Sleepy Man comes with the dust on his eyes (Oh, weary, my Dearie, so weary!) He shuts up the earth, and he opens the skies. (So hush-a-by, weary my Dearie!)"
"O wild, dark flower of woman, Deep rose of my desire, An Eastern wizard made you Of earth and stars and fire."
