Others for Others, but she was mine,i


The one fair woman benea'h 'no eun'


From her coldnax curls' most marvellous shine


DNyn 10 the 1.-THE and delicate feet .


There was not q curve nor a waving Inc


1rt moved in a harmony firm and sweet


With all of passion my life could know


By knowledge perfect and faith complete


T was bound to her,-ss the planets go


Ador1Bg around their central star,


Free, but united for veal or woe


She was 80 near and Heaven so far


She grew my heaven and law and fate


Rounding my life with mystic bar.


No thought beyond could violate.


Our love 10 fullness in silence nursed


Grew calm as morning. when through the gate


OF the rlimmering East the sun has burst,


With his hot life filling the waiting air.


She kissed me Once,-that last and first


OF her maiden kisses was placid as prayer.


Against all cOmeTs sat with lance


In rest, and, drunk with my JOY, i sware


Defiance and scorn to the worlds worst chance.


In vain for unhorsed lay


AZ the feet of the strong god CIcuinstahoe-


And never again shall break the day,


And never again shall iall the night


That shall light me1or shield NE, on my way


To the presence OF my sad sous delight.


Her dead love comes like passionate ghost


To mourn the Body 1T held so hight,


And Fate like hound with purpose lost,


Goes round bewlldered with shame and fright
