Excerpt: Nocturne
Henry Beissel
Under the evening-song
Memory summons a maiden
Over the hills that belong
Gently to flower and raven
Under my longing to dive
Into the dream-ridden river
Bleeding forever alive
Back through the heart of the giver
Under her moon-bearing breast
Still to endure my damnation
Toward the sea without rest
Love by her lips' incantation.
