<h2><SPAN name="LIGHT_AND_WIND" id="LIGHT_AND_WIND"></SPAN>LIGHT AND WIND</h2>
<div class="poem"><div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">Where, through the leaves of myriad forest trees,<br/></span>
<span class="i1">The daylight falls, beryl and chrysoprase,<br/></span>
<span class="i1">The glamour and the glimmer of its rays<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Seem visible music, tangible melodies:<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Light that is music; music that one sees—<br/></span>
<span class="i1">Wagnerian music—where forever sways<br/></span>
<span class="i1">The spirit of romance, and gods and fays<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Take form, clad on with dreams and mysteries.<br/></span>
<span class="i0">And now the wind's transmuting necromance<br/></span>
<span class="i1">Touches the light and makes it fall and rise,<br/></span>
<span class="i3">Vocal, a harp of multitudinous waves<br/></span>
<span class="i0">That speaks as ocean speaks—an utterance<br/></span>
<span class="i1">Of far-off whispers, mermaid-murmuring sighs—<br/></span>
<span class="i3">Pelagian, vast, deep-down in coral caves.<br/></span></div>
