XXVIII
[Your feet as glad]
Your feet as glad
And light as a dove's homing wings, you came—
Came with your sweets to fill my hands,
My sense with your perfume.
And light as a dove's homing wings, you came—
Came with your sweets to fill my hands,
My sense with your perfume.
We closed with lips
Grown weary and fain with longing from afar,
The while your grave, enamoured eyes
Drank down the dream in mine.
Grown weary and fain with longing from afar,
The while your grave, enamoured eyes
Drank down the dream in mine.
Till the great need
So lovely and so instant grew, it seemed
The embodied Spirit of the Spring
Hung at me, heart on heart.
So lovely and so instant grew, it seemed
The embodied Spirit of the Spring
Hung at me, heart on heart.
