Anthology of Modern Slavonic Literature in Prose and Verse/The Maenad
THE MAENAD.
Wildly sped the Maenad onward,
Like a doe,
Like a doe,—
With heart bursting from her bosom,
Like a doe,
Like a doe,—
With heart quailing like a falcon,
Prison-pent,
Prison-pent,—
With heart baleful like the sun at
Morn's ascent,
Morn's ascent,—
With heart like the evening sun, a
Sacrament,
Sacrament . . .
Thus when thou the godhead meetest,
Heart, shalt grow . . .
Heart, shalt grow . . .
And on the final threshold greetest,
Heart, shalt grow . . .
Heart, shalt grow . . .
From the peace-cup, O oblation,
Quaff content,
Quaff content,
Wine with mute conciliation
Blends content . . .
Blends content . . .
