Mouth of all sweets, whose sweetness sips Its tribute honey from all hives, The sweetest of the sweetest lives, Soft flowers and little children's lips; Yet rather learnt its heavenly smile From sorrow, God's divinest art, Sorrow that breaks and breaks the heart, Yet makes a music all the while. Ah! MOUTH OF ALL SWEETS WHOSE SWEETNESS SIPS ITS TRIBUTE HONEY FROM ALL HIVES THE SWEETEST OF THE SWEETEST LIVES SOFT FLOWERS AND LITTLE CHILDREN'S LIPS YET RATHER LEARNED ITS HEAVENLY SMILE FROM SORROW GOD'S DIVINEST ART SORROW THAT BREAKS AND BREAKS THE HEART YET MAKES A MUSIC ALL THE WHILE AH
rthern Sphinx":— Sphinx of the North, with subtler smile Than hers who in the yellow South, With make-believe mysterious mouth, Deepens the ennui of the Nile; And, with no secret left to tell, A worn and withered old coquette, Dreams sadly that she draws us yet, With antiquated charm and spell: Tell me your secret, Sphinx,—for mine!— What means the colour of your eyes, Half innocent and all so wise, Blue as the smoke whose wavering line Curls upward from the sacred pyre Of sacrifice or holy death, Pale twisting wreaths of opal breath, From fire mounting into fire. What is the meaning of your hair? That little fairy palace wrought With many a grave fantastic thought; I send a kiss to wander there, To climb from golden stair to stair, Wind in and out its cunning bowers,— O garden gold with golden flowers, O little palace built of hair! The meaning of your mouth, who knows? O mouth, where many meanings meet— Death kissed it stern, Love kissed it sweet, And each has shaped its mystic rose.
