_from "The Veiled Suite"_

_I wait for him to look straight into my eyes__This is our only chance for magnificence.__If he, carefully, upon this hour of ice,_ _will let us almost completely crystallize,_ _tell me, who but I could chill his dreaming night.__Where he turns, what will not appear but my eyes?__Wherever he looks, the sky is only eyes.__Whatever news he has, it is of the sea._
