Sy from his eyes?
So stillness,
Or to our own passion?
would your armies of reasoning

they who are conquered by love,
And upon w ran
From sea to mountain
And again form mountain to the sea,
Stand even now in a shy half-embrace.
Petal unto petal the sacred perfume,
Soul to soul the soul of life,
And upon their eyelids lies a prayer
Unto you and unto me.
Love is a nig doo a boed,
A sky turned meadoars to fireflies.

And high.
But love is beyond our questioning,
And love outsoars our song.

Cast off your mantle of brooding,
And comrade us, masters of th green and warm.
