Crimson and cloth-of-gold,

His cloud-couch, rarely wrought;—

To bower so beautiful

No bride was ever brought.

Save his,—of tender grace,—Dear Twilight, faithful, fair,On whose sweet lips he seeksSurcease of toil and care.

Save his,—of tender grace,—

Dear Twilight, faithful, fair,

On whose sweet lips he seeks

Surcease of toil and care.

O light ineffable!Wonder of wood and wold;—The vision and the pledgeOf rapture manifold.

O light ineffable!

Wonder of wood and wold;—

Of rapture manifold.
