Last night at last I could have slept,

And yet delayed my sleep till dawn,

Still wandering. Then it was I wept:

For unawares I came upon

Those glades where once she walked with me:

And as I stood there suddenly,

All wan with traversing the night,

Upon the desolate verge of light

Yearned loud the iron-bosomed sea.

Even so, where Heaven holds breath and hears

The beating heart of Love's own breast, –

Where round the secret of all spheres

All angels lay their wings to rest, –

How shall my soul stand rapt and awed,

When, by the new birth borne abroad

Throughout the music of the suns,

It enters in her soul at once

And knows the silence there for God!
