To You	A
SO you have come at last	B
And we nestle each in each	C
As leans the pliant sea in the clean curved limbs of her lover the beach	C
Merged in each other quite	D
Clinging as in the tresses of trees dallies the troubadour night	D
Faint as a perfume soft as wine	E
Yielding as moonlight mine all mine	E
So I have found you at last	B
I dreamed we dare not meet	F
The time is yet too soon	G
Swept with the tumult of perfect love our souls from this life would swoon	G
For the fusion of our lives	H
Is the sole great goal to which the vast creation vaguely drives	I
And only when I kiss your face	J
Shall the last great trumpet shatter Space	J
I dreamed we dare not meet	F
Yet somewhere hungry eyed	K
You lie and listen with tears	L
Clogged with the flesh and dulled with the sodden heritage of the years	M
And I am alien lone	N
	-
Hedged with the palisades of self shut in a soul unknown	N
You fashioned for me from Time's first day	O
I moulded for you ere that dawn was grey	O
Wait hidden hungry eyed	K
I lie in the lonely night	D
And you perhaps so near	P
That if I should whisper your sweet soul name you would joyously leap and hear	Q
And yet perhaps so far	R
Drowned in the cosmic mist beyond the swirl of the farthest star	R
But over the universe yawning between	S
With wistful eyes you listen and lean	S
Alone in the lonely night	D
Perhaps your thirsty arms	T
Some stranger youth entwine	E
And you will yield him thin faint kisses thinking his lips are mine	E
He thinking that unawares	L
He has caught as once in a dream he caught that miracle glance of hers	U
The pathos of the thing that seems	V
Each clasping memories kissing dreams	V
In passionate thirsty arms	T
	-
So you will yearn through life	W
Or maybe you did not wait	X
You married him and his neutral smile you learnt to sullenly hate	X
Or you have lived a lie	Y
And drank the mockery of his lips believing that he was I	Y
You dreamed content that you loved him true	A
But the soul of your soul was dead to you	A
So I must yearn through life	W
Or starving and passionate still	Z
To your dreams you were bravely true	A
You told the Night your secrets drear and he laughed back at you	A
And even when you dreamed	A2
You heard his merciless laughter ring and you sprang awake and screamed	A2
Till Age kissed you with a kiss that sears	M
And you faded and withered with the years	M
Starving and passionate still	Z
But hush I had almost heard	B2
Last night I dreamed your name	C2
Like the soft white tread of a faint cool cloud to my desolate sky it came	C2
Like a moth it drifted away	O
	-
And into the flame of the dawn it fluttered dying into the day	O
Yet the wind in the whispering leaves	D2
The moan of your sobbing weaves	D2
Hush I had almost heard	B2
Yet I should know your face	J
As mine all mine I claim	C2
That coil of hair that over your bosom smoulders a yellow flame	C2
And the cool dim curtained eyes	E2
The crescent of your imperious chin and the little moist mouth that cries	E2
I have heard through the din of the years	M
Your voice with its tincture of tears	L
Yes I remember your face	J
Once in the drifting crowd	F2
I thought I had found a clue	A
A pale face pealed like an organ note and yet oh my heart not you	A
She had your look the same	C2
Ineffable sorrow of glad young eyes but all the rest was shame	C2
Perhaps she saw for her eyes were wet	G2
In me the soul she had one time met	G2
In eternity's drifting crowd	F2
	-
Perhaps 't is the desert of years	M
That severs each from each	C
And out of the cavernous centuries to each other we blindly reach	C
You blossomed so long ago	H2
That only the Dawn and the Spring remember and little so little they know	H2
You wait on the hill of the first white morn	I2
Straining dead eyes to me unborn	I2
Across the desert of years	M
Or when I am dead at last	B
And my sovereignty have won	J2
As merged in the dust of the gradual Past unliving I live on	K2
You will rise with some far off Spring	L2
And back to the drear dead days that were mine your piteous glance will fling	L2
But hush I shall come in the rain kissed night	D
And whisper the words of our marriage rite	D
So I shall find you at last	B
Yet if we met	G2
I dreamed we dare not meet	F
