From Demeter

Frederic Manning

KORÈ, O Korè! where art thou fled,

Now that the spring blows white in the land?

Shake out the honied locks of thy head,

Plunder the lilies that lie to thy hand—

Dew-laden lilies, loved of the bees,

Murmuring in them till shadows grow long,

With quickening silence under the trees;

Ere break the voluptuous thrillings of song,

From the brown-throated, sweet harbourers there,

Raptured, and grieving, under the stars!
