XIII

The rapture was there of all passion;

The heartache of all we have lost:

The sweetness was there that we fashion

From love we have won or have lost,

Its terror, its torment, and cost.

And over it all was a fury

Of wings that seemed beating above,

Of stars and of winds and the glory

Of God and the splendor of love,

The splendor and triumph of love.
