Can be mended, but must ever

Sweet apples, anthosmial, divine,
From the ruby-rimmed beryline buckets

Like the sweet golden goblet found growing
On the wild emerald cucumber-tree,
Rich, brilliant, like chrysophrase glowing
Was my beautiful Rosalie Lee.

Blown through the Conchimarian horns,
Down the dark vistas of the reboantic Norns,
To the Genius of Eternity
Crying, Come to me! Come to me!

Brought fresh from the hyaline streams,
She played on the banks of the Yuba
Such songs as she heard in her dreams.
