[Lo every leaf that dances in the glades]
Lo every leaf that dances in the gladesHath some soft shadow, that, swift and close as speech
Attends on thought, reflects it (Mark how each
Of those transparent delicate purple shades
Flutters and trembles, deepens and then fades
Along the silver bark of the smooth beech,
As waxing or as waning light may teach)—
Two beating hearts one sympathy pervades.
Thought is twin-born, the magnet's double pole;
And as one leaning o'er a well descries
Reflections mount of things he cannot see,
So I, down-gazing in my own stilled soul
At quietest, have beheld t'ward me arise
As shapes in water, the thoughts that pass in thee.
