FRAGMENTS OF THE MASQUE OF GWENDOLEN Nymphs of air and ancient sea, Such the gifts we bring to thee! Lo! these plumes of rich device, Pluck’d from birds of paradise! Lo! these drops of essence rare, Shook from wand’ring meteor’s hair! Nymphs of air and ancient sea, Such the gifts we bring to thee! Take these shells, approach them near, They shall murmur in thine ear Tunes that lull the slumbering sea More than mermaid’s harmony! Take these pearls, no diving-slave Drags their like from ocean cave,— Nymphs of air and ancient sea, Such can only bring to thee.
