LI.
[I dreamed that twixt two fair far-sundered spheres]
I dreamed that twixt two fair far-sundered spheresA bridge of beams was wrought with starry twire,
That arched and wound in many a radiant spire
Across the gulf of the unpeopled years;
And o'er the bridge, like living loves and fears,
Went wild-eyed wingèd things, and shapes of fire,
Despairs that wrung their hands for doomed desire,
And sheeted forms that shed eternal tears.
Ah well I knew those peopled planets, well
The folk that passed between them, full of woe
And lamentations, and tears poured in vain:
And Love it was who thus linked heaven with hell,
And let the phantom thoughts go to and fro,
My soul and thine across this gulf of pain.
