To One Loved
Light without pause or limitude of light1
A sense of stars2
Drowned in the surging ocean of the night3
Beyond our sight4
That distance bars—5
A sense of stars.6
And wingèd sweetness, without sound or sting.7
A sense of blooms8
Adrift upon the ripples of the spring.9
Where eddies ring10
In shadowy glooms—11
A sense of blooms.12
O Love, that sets above life’s rains and dooms13
A sense of stars,14
That wins from out the tangles of life’s looms15
A thread of blooms16
No winter mars—17
O Love, in thy dear sight18
I know the light ;19
O Love, to thee I cling20
And touch the spring.21
