Excerpt from The Happy Isles: And Other Poems
Wind-kissed, and lulled into an ecstasy Of odorous death, if such a thing there be. And others said, for many hastened near, The loveliest thing in all the world to see, Surpassing all, to heaven and earth most dear, By angels welcomed, is a sorrowing tear.
