Hid in Love’s secret lair;

Or mantle down thy shoulder as I lay

This peach-soft bloom of loveliness on thine

And Love’s low message say.

Then come to me; yea, let me be to thee

Love’s veriest scope of all; in these soft eyes

Spell thine Eternity.

Ah, wherefore hesitant hang? These plenteous halls

Hunger for thee, as I, with full surmise:

Lords be we all, not thralls!”
