Arthur Symons - Water-WeedsArthur Symons - Water-Weeds
Work rating: Low


What is this that flies with night On the wings of the night-birds? Ghost of love, endless delight, Night`s inarticulate words— Come, where water-weeds are cool, Dip your fingers in the pool, Midnight on high Ararat, In the serpent`s spirit noon, Whirlwind on his wings of bat, Spider`s webs that shred the moon— Come, where water-weeds are cool, Dip your fingers in the pool. Lights that do the night illume, Ghostly shapes upon the grass. Demon`s hands that weave the loom Of the wan Herodias— Come, where water-weeds are cool, Dip your fingers in the pool. Between heaven and hell a bridge, Hecate strangles in a moat Wicked wasp and malign midge, Moat where dead sea-lilies float— Come, where water-weeds are cool, Dip your fingers in the pool.
