XXXVI

IF I have touched thy heart, as Solomon,When seemed the world dissolving in a kiss, Upon the pages wonder-white with prayer With lyric fingers laid his rose of song; And if the most I am is just—a man, Why yet, Belovèd, in that I am thine, I must not ask forgiveness; this I write Is all and more than I can say I am;Like veilèd music through the threadbare words Thy heart is beating even now, for I Have seen the morning quicken through its sleep In cycles of dim song. Thou canst not say What I have given is deserving scorn, For I have naught to give that is not Thine.
