Hyacinth

Hyacinth dreams in the arbour ... Just a crumpled mass of gray ... Soft ashen hair and colourless skin, Small, delicate hands blue-veined and thin ... Hyacinth dreams in the arbour And who shall say What Hyacinth dreams to-day? Hyacinth dreams in the arbour And the stealthy pussy-cat creeps To her silken lap in the soft green gloom. Room for the pussy-cat, Hyacinth ... room! Hyacinth dreams, in the arbour, Of Life ... that steals and leaps Like a panther out of the shadows ... Hyacinth sleeps. Hyacinth! Hyacinth! Open your eyes!
AnxiousGenevieve Taggard

Epithalamium

Out of the forest, panther, come, Silken, supple, silent, lone — Out of the forest, drooped with night — To your delight. Under bloom and over stone, Out of the forest, panther, come. Something sees and slips with you, Something huge and gaunt and blue, Lashes its tail and follows you : You, pursued, still pursue. . . . Sky with thunder on its rim Closes and closes after you : Trigger loin, swinging limb, Go and go and go from him! Brushing haunches, taut with dew, Follow, follow, follow you.
AnxiousElizabeth Madox Roberts

In the Night

The light was burning very dim, The little blaze was brown and red, And I waked just in time to see A panther going under the bed. I saw him crowd his body down To make it fit the little space. I saw the streaks along his back, And bloody bubbles on his face. Long marks of light came out of my eyes And went into the lamp--and there Was Something waiting in the room-- I saw it sitting on a chair. Its only eye was shining red, Its face was very long and gray, Its two bent teeth were sticking out, And all its jaw was torn away.
