IN LOVE'S HOUSE

Love the God at last has unclouded his eyes....

"Newcomer, what are these things that you bear unto me?"

"Songs, the flower and fruit of my wondering heart,

All the creating I have to offer to you."

"Nothing may be created of you in my house,

Drift your little singing away on the wind.

You cannot hang me about with a music of sighs,

You cannot deck me with roseal vapours of song,
