 | The Triumph of Love |  |
LII
Because I love thee, Dearest! I could prayThat thou mightst know the bliss that I have known;—
The joy, the triumph of being swept away
By love's great current—helpless, lost and lone;—
That thou mightst learn how love can wing his flight,
Beyond the dreamland of the heart's desire,
To worlds vibrating with ethereal light,
Where earthborn flames burn as celestial fire.
That thou mightst follow, without hope or fear,
Some angel soul as I have followed thine,
Till the last thought of self should disappear,
And in the stillness of life's inmost shrine
Thy soul, new shriven by the loved one's grace,
Should see the splendour of Love's cloudless face.
