[The perfume hidden at the rose's heart]
The perfume hidden at the rose's heart;The inner sweetness of a dream; the cry
Of sorrow that escapes within a sigh,
The love within a kiss; the soul's keen smart
Hid in a tear; the spiritual counterpart
Of a swift meaning motion of the eye,
Or lights that on the lips are born and die,
Named smiles:—all this to me and more thou art.
Search in thy breast, and see what holiest thing
Dwells inmost of thy thoughts, fulfilling each,
A soul unto the body of thy speech:
Then I in thee, as thou in me, shall sing,
And heaven in both, and both in heaven's reach—
Skies in our heart and skies about our wing.
