A Dreamer’s Duty
Cassia, myrrh, and olibanum
All mixed together
On a November morning
Down to the ships of Kolkhis
And to Andromàkhe’s wedding,
Tender, swift-glancing Andromàkhe
So many shores and sands and seas
To weave the tapestry
Of this Autumnall Beautie of a day
And the untiring gaze
To hold the hypnotic dance
To the quivering edge
Of a dreamer’s duty
5 November
