BORDERLANDS

TTHROUGH all the evening,All the virginal long evening,Down the blossomed aisle of April it is dread to walk alone;For there the intangible is nigh, the lost is ever-during;And who would suffer again beneath a too divine alluring,Keen as the ancient drift of sleep on dying faces blown?Yet in the valley,At a turn of the orchard alley,When a wild aroma touched me in the moist and moveless air,Like breath indeed from out Thee, or as airy vesture round Thee,Then was it I went faintly, for fear I had nearly found Thee,O hidden, O perfect, O desired! the first and the final Fair.

THROUGH all the evening,

All the virginal long evening,

Down the blossomed aisle of April it is dread to walk alone;

For there the intangible is nigh, the lost is ever-during;

And who would suffer again beneath a too divine alluring,

Keen as the ancient drift of sleep on dying faces blown?

Yet in the valley,At a turn of the orchard alley,When a wild aroma touched me in the moist and moveless air,Like breath indeed from out Thee, or as airy vesture round Thee,Then was it I went faintly, for fear I had nearly found Thee,O hidden, O perfect, O desired! the first and the final Fair.

Yet in the valley,

At a turn of the orchard alley,

When a wild aroma touched me in the moist and moveless air,

Like breath indeed from out Thee, or as airy vesture round Thee,

Then was it I went faintly, for fear I had nearly found Thee,

O hidden, O perfect, O desired! the first and the final Fair.
