IV

Love, with no other agent

Save communion by the eye,

Evoked from those bright creatures

Our secret unity;

There, flowering from old ages,

Hung on time’s blossoming stem

All that fairest was in me

Or loveliest in them;

And truly it was happiness

Unto a poet’s heart

To find that living in his breast

Which is immortal art.

_The Forum_ _George Edward Woodberry_
