Danae: VII
From Poems and Phantasies (1917)
Mythology & Folklore
"Mine is a heavenly Lover,
In Him I am wholly blest;
My heart it is His coffer
Wherein His gold doth rest.
"Dead in the metal tower
I lie till night doth come,
When in a golden shower
He bursts the midnight dome.
"And, caught beyond releasing,
I yield me to His claim,
And by my creature ceasing
All that He is I am."
