Love-Sonnets | ||
21
XIII.
[To see the shadow and the leaf commune]
To see the shadow and the leaf communeAnd pulse for pulse tremulously reply,—
Like dancing butterfly to butterfly,
As if two beating hearts beat to one tune,—
I wish that our two spirits therein were mewn,
Thou in the leaf, in the fond shadow I,
In sunny summer woods when winds were high,
One double heart-beat in the breast of June.
Nay thou shouldst be a cloud to float and rest
In bluest ether mid transcendent light,
And I a shadow to pursue thy flight
O'er flower-spread plain and green hill's rounded breast;
Or thou shouldst be a sweet song in the night,
And I an answering echo scarcely guessed.
