Lovely Semiramis
Closes her slanting eyes:
Dead is she long ago.

The Wooden Pegasus (1920)

Within your magic web of hair, lies furled
The fire and splendour of the ancient world;
The dire gold of the comet's wind-blown hair;
The songs that turned to gold the evening air
When all the stars of heaven sang for joy.

The Wooden Pegasus (1920)
