With her large, dark eyes, whose depths divine
Are filled to the brim with endernesses;
And my brow, where the hot blood throbs and BEATS
Partly with thought and partly with pain,
To an unseen hands unseen caresses
Yields, for an hour, its fever-heats
And wears the smooth front of its childhood again.
You and You and L
What if either of us should die?
Could the hearts that have loved SO tenderly
Be severed by death? Not so-not so
My soul leans out from its house of clay
When the breeze that has famed your cheek goes by
And says, She is nearp' feel the touch
Of her lips to mine of her hand at play
With my hair it did when, long ago,
We sat in the hush of the summer ewes,
Saying but little, yet loving much,
And believing all that love believes
And SO know, whatever may list,
Our souls shall keep their holy tryst
Through all the years of the life to be
They shall meet and clasp and ntertwine
And quaff of Loves nectarious wine,
Till filled and thrilled with bliss divine,
They float, like halcyons the
That laves thy Shores Eternity
Keeping their tryst whatever may list,
Through all the years of life to be.
You and You and L
We have drank of the cup which Joy hath BLESSED,
And youth hath brmmed to its overflow,
And serner hand to our lips hath pressed
The bitter sacrament of wo!
Yet, whether the sunshine bright warm
Or the geld breath of the winter storm,
Be over our path and in our sky,
One thing, whatever is false beside,
Though Youth, with its lustihood and pride,
And the stern ambitions of life full prime,
And the deeds which deve and the hopes which climb,
Shall fall and the le-tde, ebbing low,
Come back with its vital flow
Yet love still shapes destiny,
Love reigns DER all triumphantly
Love lives through all Immortality,
Love Is Its own eternity,
And we are Loves, and cannot die!
