I could not love if my thought loved not too	A
Nor could my body touch the body of you	A
Unless first in the dark night of the mind	B
Love had fulfilled what Love had well designed	B
	-
Was it in thought or flesh we walked when low	C
The sun dropped and the white scar on the hill	D
Sank into the dark trees	E
Could we indeed so quietly go	C
Body by body into that heavenly glow	C
	-
The elms that rose so vast above the mill	D
Near leafless were and still	D
But from the branches with such loud unease	E
Black flocking starlings mixed their warring cries	F
That seemed the greater noise of the creaking mill	D
And every branch and extreme twig was black	G
With birds that whistled and heard and whistled back	G
Filling with noise as late with wings the skies	F
Was it their noise we heard	H
Or clamour of other thoughts in our quiet mind that stirred	H
	-
Then through the climbing hazel hedge new thinned	I
By the early and rapacious wind	B
We saw the silver birches gleam with light	J
Of frozen masts in seas all wild and green	K
O were they truly trees or some unseen	K
Thought taking on an image dark and bright	J
And did those bodies see them or the mind	B
And did those bodies face once more the hill	D
To bathe in night or on a darker road	L
Our spirits unseeing unwearying rise and rise	F
Where these feet never trod	M
	-
From that familiar outer darkness I	N
Would rise to the inner deeper darker sky	N
And find you in my spirit or find you not	O
O never never if not in my thought	P
