18. The Vision
 
IN a fair place 
  Of whin and grass, 
  I heard feet pass 
  Where no one was. 
  
I saw a face         5
  Bloom like a flower— 
  Nay, as the rainbow-shower 
  Of a tempestuous hour. 
  
It was not man, or woman: 
It was not human:  10
  But, beautiful and wild, 
  Terribly undefiled, 
  I knew an unborn child.
