A mirror revealed,

  past the twin moons

  Circling some fugitive world

  outmost in the dark:

  The brazen empire,

  The unhindered dominions

  of the stainless sky―

  These I desire,

  and the heavens as well,

  Revealing a mirror through which

  we might pass into a world

  untouched by darkness

  By demons wrought from lunar metals

  Here burnished forms of silver light,

  containing fae faces vanishing,

  And gentle phantoms lovelier

  than the gloaming

  of a Midsummer's Night.

  The hope I feel today

  Somehow renews

  the bygone flames and wishes,

  The vanished profound moods

  And evanescent dreams of yesteryear,

  the madness of the love I felt

  before.

  Come, weary dreamer,

  let us wander through

  the maddening dark

  together.
