-<poem>
-An eagle descends from this sky white with archangels
-And you sustain me
-Let them tremble a long while all these lamps
-Pray pray for me
-The city’s metallic and it’s the only star
-Drowned in your blue eyes
-When the tramways run spurting pale fire
-Over the twittering birds
-And all that trembles in your eyes of my dreams
-That a lonely man drinks
-Under flames of gas red like a false dawn
-O clothed your arm is lifted
-See the speaker stick his tongue out at the listeners
-A phantom has committed suicide
-The apostle of the fig-tree hangs and slowly rots
-Let us play this love out then to the end
-Bells with clear chimes announce your birth
-See
-The streets are garlanded and the palms advance
-Towards thee
