Return
Translated by L. Cranmer-Byng (1916) · From A Feast of Lanterns (1916)
Relationships
You far away—you know
That when the wine-cup reddens o’er the lake
I call to you a thousand leagues apart,
From the sheer confines of the world, and lo,
All golden for your sake,
Spring dimples through the doorway of my heart.
