LASSITUDE.

These kisses know no longer where to rest,

For blind and cold the eyes were they caressed;

Henceforth asleep in splendid reverie they

Watch dreamily, as in the grass dogs may,

The grey horizon-herded sheep-folk graze

Upon the turf the moon's dishevelled rays,

Kissed by the sun, dark as their life is dark;

Indifferent, without an envious spark

For pleasure's roses under them unclosing;

And this long, green, ununderstood reposing.
