THE LOVERS' WALK

Sweet twining hedgeflowers wind-stirred in no wise

On this June day; and hand that clings in hand:--

Still glades; and meeting faces scarcely fann'd:--

An osier-odoured stream that draws the skies

Deep to its heart; and mirrored eyes in eyes:--

Fresh hourly wonder o'er the Summer land

Of light and cloud; and two souls softly spann'd

With one o'erarching heaven of smiles and sighs:--

Even such their path, whose bodies lean unto

Each other's visible sweetness amorously,--

Whose passionate hearts lean by Love's high decree

Together on his heart for ever true,

As the cloud-foaming firmamental blue

Rests on the blue line of a foamless sea.
