In the tempestuous petticoat--
A careless shoe-string, in whose tie
I see a wild civility--
Do more bewitch me than when art

Indian Dancer

...ng the strain of keen music that cleaveth the stars like a wail of desire, 
And beautiful dancers with houri-like faces bewitch the voluptuous watches of night.


The scents of red roses and sandalwood flutter and die in the maze of their gem-tangled hair, 
And smiles are entwining like magical serpents the poppies of lips that are opiate-sweet; 
Their glittering garments of purple are burning like tremulous dawns in the quivering air, 
And exquisite, subtle and slow are the ...Read more of this...

Lyric of Love to Leah

...sence that my shoulders seek
To intensify the curled
Candour of the eyes oblique,
Eyes that see the seraphic sleek
Lust bewitch the wanton world.

Come, my love, my dove, & pour
From thy cup the serpent wine
Brimmed & breathless -secret store
Of my crimson concubine
Surfeit spirit in the shrine-
Devil -Godess -Virgin -Whore.

Afric sands ensorcel us,
Afric seas & skies entrance
Velvet, lewd & luminous
Night surveys our soul askance!
Come my love, & let us dance
To the Moon an...Read more of this...

Oberons Feast

...press'd from the soft side 
Of the most sweet and dainty bride,
Brought in a dainty daisy, which 
He fully quaffs up to bewitch 
His blood to height; this done, commended 
Grace by his priest, the feast is ended....Read more of this...

Sonnet XI: You Not Alone

...I may forsake you; 
So much is mine that doth with you remain, 
That, taking what is mine, with me I take you;

From my self you, or from your own self I....Read more of this...

The Bait

...net.

Let course bold hand from slimy nest
The bedded fish in banks out-wrest,
Or curious traitors, sleave-silk flies,
Bewitch poor fishes' wandering eyes.

For thee, thou need'st no such deceit,
For thou thyself are thine own bait;
That fish that is not catched thereby,
Alas, is wiser far than I....Read more of this...

The Road to Gundagai

...the mountain snows. 

Then, fearing I might go astray, 
I asked if she could show the way. 

Her voice might well a man bewitch -- 
Its tones so supple, deep, and rich. 

"The tracks are clear," she made reply, 
"And this goes down to Sydney Town, 
And that one goes to Gundagai." 

Then slowly, looking coyly back, 
She went along the Sydney track 

And I for one was well content 
To go the road the lady went; 

But round the turn a swain she met -- 
The kiss she gave him haun...Read more of this...
