Makes terrible her wounded breath.

But when the lips I breathed upon

Asked for such love as equals claim

I looked where all the stars were gone

Burned in the day's immortal flame.

'Come thou like yon great dawn to me

From darkness vanquished, battles done:

Flame unto flame shall flow and be

[18]

Within thy heart and mine as one.'

PARTING

As from our dream we died away

Far off I felt the outer things;

Your wind-blown tresses round me play,

Your bosom's gentle murmurings.

And far away our faces met

As on the verge of the vast spheres;

And in the night our cheeks were wet,

I could not say with dew or tears.

As one within the Mother's heart
