Love

Dear builder of the Bridge, with thee I stood

by Mary E. Coleridge 1861–1907

From Poems (1908)

Love

Dear builder of the Bridge, with thee I stood
And watched the waters flow
And heard thy cry of "Onward" o'er the flood,
Between two skies, one over, one below.

Whether it was the outward eye that thought,
The inward eye that saw,
I know not; into harmony were brought
The floating image and abiding law.
