LOVE'S CARELESSNESS
to A. H. M.
Lay lips on lips and limb to limb;
Love's here at last, my love. For him
We shut the whole world out this hour.
Love's here at last, my love. For him
We shut the whole world out this hour.
He holds us close in fired embrace:
His kisses rain from face to face,
Whose thirst drinks in the implored-for shower.
His kisses rain from face to face,
Whose thirst drinks in the implored-for shower.
Our pulses faint and fail and rise:
My soul through thine, thine through mine eyes
Meet, and are one in heaven indeed.
My soul through thine, thine through mine eyes
Meet, and are one in heaven indeed.
In heaven or hell? Is it light of fire
Or light of the sun? desire on desire!
Be it hell's or heaven's love scorns to heed.
Or light of the sun? desire on desire!
Be it hell's or heaven's love scorns to heed.
November 18th, 1884.
