Alone in the press of people traveled he, Minding her jacinth, and myrrh, and ivory. Mouth he remembered: the quaint orifice From which came heat that flamed upon the kiss, Till cold words came down spiral from the head. Grey doves from the officious tower illsped. Body: it was a white field ready for love, On her body's field, with the gaunt tower above, The lilies grew, beseeching him to take, If he would pluck and wear them, bruise and break. Eyes talking: Never mind the cruel words, Embrace my flowers, but not embrace the swords. But what they said, the doves came straightway flying And unsaid: Honor, Honor, they came crying. Importunate her doves. Too pure, too wise, Clambering on his shoulder, saying, Arise, Leave me now, and never let us meet | |
