Love
Silver and Rose
From Sonnets and Songs (1905)
Love
Pale as a petulant star,
She held up her face to his love;
Her spirit from his dwelt afar
As the sky from the sea is above.
Yet he gazed till her whiteness was rose,
Dawn bright with the morning above--
As the sea from the sky wakes and glows,
So his image was mirrored in love.
