DEFEAT
How easily defeated! A fleet grace of limb
Swept by; dark eyes that dared him follow where they led:
And all the heavens had dwindled to one star for him,
And the great deep lay hollow, lightless, blind and dead.
Swept by; dark eyes that dared him follow where they led:
And all the heavens had dwindled to one star for him,
And the great deep lay hollow, lightless, blind and dead.
Sadly the over-shadowing forms of might depart.
His eyes with longing no more search the mystic sea.
With one alone he lingers murmuring heart to heart,
“One infinite, thy love, is life enough for me.”
His eyes with longing no more search the mystic sea.
With one alone he lingers murmuring heart to heart,
“One infinite, thy love, is life enough for me.”
