When even lovers find their peace at last,
And Earth is but a star, that once had shone.

The Golden Journey to Samarkand (1913)

When the great markets by the sea shut fast
All that calm Sunday that goes on and on:
When even lovers find their peace at last,
And Earth is but a star, that once had shone.

The Golden Journey to Samarkand (1913)

We who with songs beguile your pilgrimage:
And swear that Beauty lives though lilies die,
We Poets of the proud old lineage
Who sing to find your hearts, we know not why.

The Golden Journey to Samarkand (1913)
