Nothing may alter, though sorrow and tempest
Torture the Earth, as she trembles under.
MY LOVE
My love is a bird with a broken wing,
Alone in a stormy night;
My love is a lark that forgets to sing
And dies with the morning light.
My love is a rose that the wind has torn,
And crushed with a breath of pain;
My love is song with the sweetness gone,
A tune with a lost refrain.
My love is a ghost that has missed its way,
A spirit from Heaven cast;
My love is a joy of a bygone day,
The soul of a burning past.
A MEMORY
No, I have not forgotten you,
Although I went my way
Unanswered, as you wished me to,
With none to bid me stay.
For in my heart there is a space
Whose door you closed to me,
Locked in the memory of your face;
Then took away the key.
TO ——
What you deny me, you gave;
You cannot take it again
In life and after the grave
There is something that even then,
Death will not kill or destroy,
It is so with the hearts of men.
Even your pride cannot rob
My life of its blessed past;
You cannot recall one throb,
One glance of the many cast
From those dear, passionate eyes;
These things will be mine to the last.
ON THE MOUNTAIN
Below and above, yes, over and under us,
Swift clouds hover, and speed and fly;
Nothing we see that can hurt or sunder us
Here in the arms of the circling sky.
Surely we two must belong to each other,
Silently mated where none are nigh
Save God our Father, and Earth our Mother,
And sweetest of all, dear,—You and I.
TO ——
When she turns aside to pass us by,
With a little smile or a glance only
We are all alone, my Heart
