<h3><i>Tranquillity</i></h3>
<div class="poem"><div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">Do you respect the heavy-lidded flowers<br/></span>
<span class="i2">That nod so drowsily upon their bed?<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Can you endure the slow-stepped, dreamy hours<br/></span>
<span class="i2">That fall, indifferent, to gold and red?<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">Have you the key that opens to green arches<br/></span>
<span class="i2">Where trees repeat their prayers in monotone?<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Then take my hand down life’s mysterious marches,<br/></span>
<span class="i2">And let us walk in silence and alone.<br/></span></div>
