First lines

What though the gods of the eld be dead, Here are the mountains of azure and snow, Here are the valleys where loves are wed, And lilies in blow.

Here are the hands that are lucid, sweet, Wound at the wrist with an amber beading, Folds of the seafoam to cover the feet, Mortals misleading.
