EROS
How grave this night are earth and air!
The darkness hides under its fleece
The sombre stones 'mid which I lie
In their profundity of peace.
The darkness hides under its fleece
The sombre stones 'mid which I lie
In their profundity of peace.
Above my savage couch I see,
Dark glowing through what endless heights,
The secret majesties of space,
Its still innumerable lights!
Dark glowing through what endless heights,
The secret majesties of space,
Its still innumerable lights!
More ancient than all human love,
There lies between these things and me
Love, that through many a birth and death,
Shall grow as vast as that wide sea.
There lies between these things and me
Love, that through many a birth and death,
Shall grow as vast as that wide sea.
