Poems— Volume 1
Contents:
V
A message from her set his brain aflame. A world of household matters filled her mind, Wherein he saw hypocrisy designed: She treated him as something that is tame, And but at other provocation bites. Familiar was her shoulder in the glass, Through that dark rain: yet it may come to pass That a changed eye finds such familiar sights More keenly tempting than new loveliness. The ’What has been’ a moment seemed his own: The splendours, mysteries, dearer because known, Nor less divine: Love’s inmost sacredness Called to him, ’Come!’—In his restraining start, Eyes nurtured to be looked at scarce could see A wave of the great waves of Destiny Convulsed at a checked impulse of the heart.
