Sweet twining hedgeflowers wind-stirred in no wise
On this June day; and hand that clings in hand:-
Still glades; and meeting faces scarcely fann'd:-
An osier-odoured stream that draws the skies
Deep to its heart; and mirrored eyes in eyes:-
Fresh hourly wonder o'er the Summer land
Of light and cloud; and two souls softly spann'd
With one o'erarching heaven of smiles and sighs:-
Even such their path, whose bodies lean unto
Each other's visible sweetness amorously,-
Whose passionate hearts lean by Love's high decree
Together on his heart for ever true,
As the cloud-foaming firmamental blue
Rests on the blue line of a foamless sea.
The Lovers' Walk
