He gives His Beloved Certain Rhymes
Fasten your hair with a golden pin, | And bind up every wandering tress; | I bade my heart build these
poor rhymes: | It worked at them, day out, day in, | Building a sorrowful loveliness | Out of the battles of old
times. | | | | | You need but lift a pearl-pale hand, | And bind up your long hair and sigh; | And all mens hearts
must burn and beat; | And candle-like foam on the dim sand, | And stars climbing the dew-dropping sky, | Live but to light your passing feet. |
