If this white benedction of the snow
Fell not from heaven upon frozen fields,
The festival would hardly know

Nor any coldness dim the light of Love,
Thou couldst not know that natures better par

Unbroken sunshine and perpetual heat
Make deserts only Clouds that bring rain
Shelter gardens and thine eyes, My Sweet,
Must know what tears are fond eyes to remain

Go watch amid the restless crowds,
That throng the highway over.
For lips that pale. or tightly close
Their secrets to discover
Note well the fearless eyes that fall
Beneath some sudden question.
The hands that tremble-watch and see,
The blush of quick confusion.
The secret may not be amiss.
With puritanic notion.
Yet every life has some. / know,
From ocean wide to ocean;
And every life deceptive is.
With right or wrong intention,
The world demands, and all obey.
