To the bright east she flies

To the bright east she flies,

Brothers of Paradise

Remit her home,

Without a change of wings,

Or Love's convenient things,

Enticed to come.


Fashioning what she is,

Fathoming what she was,

We deem we dream —

And that dissolves the days

Through which existence strays

Homeless at home.
