Y
atravesó
campiñas
Fresquísimas y amenas
De bosques de ámbar llenas
Y cerros de cristal,
Y prodigiosas viñas,
Que en frutos dan opimos
Las perlas en racimos
En tallos de coral.

THE SLEEP-WORKER
WHEN wilt thou wake, O Mother, wake and see--
As one who, held in trance, has laboured long
By vacant rote and prepossession strong--
The coils that thou hast wrought unwittingly;
Wherein have place,
unrealized
by thee,
Fair growths, foul cankers, right enmeshed with wrong,
Strange orchestras of victim-shriek and song,
And curious blends of ache and ecstasy?
