Love
A Love-Song
From In Time Like Glass (1921)
Love
The beautiful, delicate bright gazelle
That bounds upon Night's hills
Has not more lovely, silken limbs
Than she who my heart fills.
But though this loveliness I lose
When I shall lie with her,
I do but pass that Image on
For new eyes to discover.
