 | The Triumph of Love |  |
XXV
Hast thou too suffered? Does thy silence hideAn unprobed wound, a secret none may share?
Hast thou too dreamed that love was by thy side,
Then waked to find thy lover was Despair?
Hast thou too stretched over this gulf of doom
Vain hands of yearning for what ne'er shall be?
Has thy life felt the shadow of my gloom?
Has thy heart ached with my heart's agony?
O love, I dare not ask, I dare not guess
What message flashes from thy soul to mine.
Strong in thy silence and my loneliness,
I guard the banner that is love's and thine.
Yet but to dream that thou hast suffered so
Pierces my heart with love's most poignant throe.
