Through the swoon, heavy and motionless
Stifling with heat the cool morning's struggles
No water, but that which my flute pours, murmurs
To the grove sprinkled with melodies: and the sole breeze
Out of the twin pipes, quick to breathe
Before it scatters the sound in an arid rain,
Is
unstirred
by any wrinkle of the horizon,
The visible breath, artificial and serene,
Of inspiration returning to heights unseen.
