Give me a child!! Dear Heart, we have loved long,
Draining each other-s sweetness to the last
Wild drops of honeyed madness falling fast
Upon our limbs in ecstasies of song.
-More love,â? we cried. -More, and still more.â? And, strong
And fierce, the tide of passion filled the vast
Immeasured space of our desire, and cast
Us breathless to the realms the white gods throng.
My Poet, let the tempest rise once more,
Until from spirit out of spirit, wise
And free, we draw our own youth back again-
My dimpled chin, your eyes; and learn the lore
Of everlasting life and all emprise
From the sweet child that comes to us through pain.
Love Sonnet Xxviii
