NEREIA
Whereat Nereia’s happy heart burst forth
Into the song, and thus she ended it:
“O Life, sweet Life, be glad alway!
Our life hath witness’d Love’s birthday,
And Love, once born, will live for aye,
Yea, thou wilt live for aye, Love!”
And so they pass’d within the palace gates;
And all the sky was blue, and the sea blue.
