As You Are

Dark hair--dark eyes--
But heart of sun,
Pity and hope
That rill and run
With flowing fleet
To heal the defeat
Of all Life has undone.

Dark hair--dark eyes--
But soul as clear,
Trusty and fair
As e'er drew near
To clasp its mate
And enter the gate
Of Love that casts out fear.

Dark hair--dark eyes--
But, there is seen
In them the most
That earth can mean;
The most that death
Can bring--or breath
There--in the bright Unseen!
