Give me some amulet That marks intelligence with you, Red when you love and rosier red, And when you love not, pale and blue. Alas that neither bonds nor vows Can certify possession. Torments me still the fear that Love Died in his last expression." -- "He walks with God upon the hills And sees each morn the world arise New bathed in light of Paradise. He hears the laughter of her rills; She to his spirit undefiled Makes answer as a little child; Unveiled before his eyes she stands And gives her secrets to his hands." -- |
