  (Designs for a Time-Piece.) I. The Enchantress. In silver shoon, on sapphire pavement clear, Fair Dian walks the overarching night; Her spell she lays—great Fundy leaps with cheer! She breaks—he flees in elemental might! II. The Lovers. Dian, pale Dian, sailing the upper sea, Searching for lover lost on earth's lone beach; And Fundy, forward, backward, ceaselessly, By love's impulsions borne to utmost reach. III. Art and Science. Dian, with silver robe from her shoulders flung, And Fundy, with his tidal arc and gauge, Beating as a great pendulum forth-swung, The seconds of the geologic age. |
