EPITHALAMION
The pale dawn went down unto the sea,Past the gray ships in the offing.The salt wind found her blowing hairAnd closed his wings and nested there,And the salt sea hungered for her rareSweet body and forgot his scoffing.The pale dawn went down unto the seaWhen all the world was sleeping;She lifted veils and veils of airUntil her eager limbs were bare,And the salt sea shook his manéd hair,And the curl’d waves came to her, leaping.
