NOCTURNE.
Colombine leans above the taper flame:
Colombine slings a rose.
She slings a revered hand at Pierrot's feet.
Behind, a perpendicular wall of stars,
Below, a gleam of snows.
Pierrot spins and whirls, Pierrot is fleet;
He whirls his hands, like birds, upon the moon.
Pierrot spins and whirls ....
His eyes are filled with facets of many worlds
Of elver and blue and green,
And he would hide his head, yet the keen
blue darkness
Cuts his arms away from his face.
Listen! A violin
Freezes into a blade, so bright and thin
It pierces through his brain, into the heart,
And he is spilled by a pin of music on the dark.
Swift the wisps of motion blown across the moon ;
Colombine slings a paper rose,
Pierrot slits like a white moth on blue dark.
Black the taper, sharp their mouths in starlight,
The sky with icy rootless flowers gauntly glows.
They are stiffly frozen, bright and stark.
