Love
Lightnings may flicker round my head
From The Lonely Dancer (1913)
Love
Lightnings may flicker round my head,
And all the world seem doom,
If you, like a wild rose, will walk
Strangely into the room.
If only my sad heart may hear
Your voice of faery laughter--
What matters though the heavens fall,
And hell come thundering after.
