Our love that we may be | B |
Each other's conscience | C |
And have our sympathy | B |
Mainly from thence | D |
We'll one another treat like gods | E |
And all the faith we have | F |
In virtue and in truth bestow | G |
On either and suspicion leave | H |
To gods below | G |
- | |
Two solitary stars | I |
Unmeasured systems far | J |
Between us roll | K |
But by our conscious light we are | J |
Determined to one pole | K |
- | |
What need confound the sphere | L |
Love can afford to wait | M |
For it no hour's too late | M |
That witnesseth one duty's end | N |
Or to another doth beginning lend | N |
- | |
It will subserve no use | O |
More than the tints of flowers | P |
Only the independent guest | Q |
Frequents its bowers | P |
Inherits its bequest | Q |
- | |
No speech though kind has it | R |
But kinder silence doles | S |
Unto its mates | T |
By night consoles | S |
By day congratulates | S |
- | |
What saith the tongue to tongue | U |
What hearest ear of ear | V |
By the decrees of fate | M |
From year to year | L |
Does it communicate | M |
- | |
Pathless the gulf of feeling yawns | S |
No trivial bridge of words | S |
Or arch of boldest span | W |
Can leap the moat that girds | S |
The sincere man | W |
- | |
No show of bolts and bars | S |
Can keep the foeman out | X |
Or 'scape his secret mine | Y |
Who entered with the doubt | X |
That drew the line | Y |
- | |
No warder at the gate | M |
Can let the friendly in | Z |
But like the sun o'er all | A2 |
He will the castle win | Z |
And shine along the wall | A2 |
- | |
There's nothing in the world I know | G |
That can escape from love | B2 |
For every depth it goes below | G |
And every height above | B2 |
It waits as waits the sky | C2 |
Until the clouds go by | C2 |
Yet shines serenely on | D2 |
With an eternal day | E2 |
Alike when they are gone | F2 |
And when they stay | E2 |
- | |
Implacable is Love | B2 |
Foes may be bought or teased | G2 |
From their hostile intent | H2 |
But he goes unappeased | H2 |
Who is on kindness bent | H2 |
Henry David Thoreau
