[When in late twilight slowly thou hast strayed]
When in late twilight slowly thou hast strayedThro' wet syringas and a black-green shade,
With one communing so, that each with each
Knew not the interludes of ebbing speech,
Marked not the gaze which thro' the dimness fell
On beauty in the daylight loved so well:—
Since in that hour the still souls held as nought
The body's beauty or brain's responsive thought,
Content to feel that life in life had grown
Separate no longer, but one life alone;
Ay, and they guessed thereby what life shall be
When Love world-wide has shown his mystery.
