The Secret Splendour

My thoughts are a quiet lake beneath your sky:

Spirit to spirit gathers—one calm hue;

But every cell of flesh is a blind eye—

This hand quivers each time I think of you....

Oh the small hand in a wide universe!

No peace for me until my love I strain

To that far face of you and touch your tears

And know their sweet salt on my lips again.
