Love in a life

Love in a life

Room after room,
I hunt the house through
We inhabit together.
Heart, fear nothing, for, heart, thou shalt find her....
Next time, herself! not the trouble behind her
Left in the curtain, the couch's perfume!
As she brushed it, the cornice-wreath blossomed anew:
Yon looking-glass gleaned at the wave of her feather.

Yet the day wears,
And door succeeds door;
I try the fresh fortune
Range the wide house from the wing to the centre.
Still the same chance! She goes out as I enter.
Spend my whole day in the quest--who cares?
But 'tis twilight, you see with such suites to explore,
Such closets to search, such alcoves to importune!

A farewell

A FAREWELL

With all my will..
But much against my heart
We two now part
My very dear

Our solace is the sad road lies so clear
It needs no art
With faint,averted feet
And many a tear

In our opposed path to persevere
Go thou to east,I west
We will not stay

There's any hope it is so far away
But,O,my best
When the one darling of our widow head

The nursling grief
Is dead...
And no dews,blur our eyes
To see the peach-bloom come in evening skies

Perchance we may
Where now this night is day
And even through faith of still averted feet
Making full circle of our banishment
Amazed meet;

The bitter journey to the bourne so sweet
Seasoning the termless feast of our content
With tears of recognition never dry....

Love and death

LOVE AND DEATH....

Shall we, too, rise forgetful from our sleep
And shall my soul that lies within your hand
Remember nothing as the blowing sand
Forget the palm where long blue shadow creep
When winds along the darkened desert sweep??

Or would it still remember tho' it spanned
A thousand heavens, while the planets fanned
The vacant ether with the voices deep?
Soul of my soul, no word shall be forgot
Nor yet alone,beloved shall we see...

The desolation of extinguished suns nor fear
The void where thro' our planet runs
For still together shall we go and not
Fare forth alone to front eternity
