Love
A White Blossom
From Love Poems and Others (1913)
LoveNature
A tiny moon as white and small as a single jasmine flower
Leans all alone above my window, on night's wintry bower,
Liquid as lime-tree blossom, soft as brilliant water or rain
She shines, the one white love of my youth, which all sin cannot stain.

Codex Note
Four lines on a tiny white moon over the window, 'the one white love of my youth, which all sin cannot stain'.
