She should never have looked at me
If she meant I should not love her
There are plenty…men..you call such
I suppose..she may discover
All her soul too…if she pleases
And yet leave much as she found them
But I am not so and she knew it
When she fixed me,glancing found them
What??to fix me thus meant nothing?
But I can’t tell (there’s my weakness)
What her look said! No vile can’t sure
About need to strew the bleakness
Of some lone shore with its pearl seed
That’s the sea feels, no strange yearning
Where’s there’s chance of least returning
Oh observe,of course next moment
The world’s honour in decision
Trampled out the light for ever
Never fear but there’s provision
Of the devil’s to quench knowledge
Let’s we walk the earth in capture
Making those who catch God’s secret
Just so much prize their capture
Such am I : the secret’s mine now she has lost me, I have gained her
Her soul’s mine and thus grown perfect
I shall pass my life’s remainder
Life will just hold out the proving
Both our powers, alone and plendid
And then come next life quickly
This world’s use will have been ended
