My love for you? Pure as the strangest of lights,
as thou the stars peeped deep into my soul.
My love for you? Flows as the loneliest of seas,
like dark magic dwells in my heart. ...
Heart to heart!
And the stillness of night and the moonlight, like hushed breathing
Silently, stealthily moving across thy hair!
O womanly face!
Tender and strong and lucent with infinite feeling,
Shrinking with startled joy, like wind-struck water,
And yet so frank, so unashamed of love!
