Love
Love from Afar
From The Divine Vision (1904)
Love
A burning fire rose up within me,
You were away long miles apart;
You could not wait the day to win me,
But came a lightning to my heart.
I call into that flaming centre
"Spirit, I love you." Far away
Fades from the paradise I enter
The dim unreal land of day.
