As the East that quickens and flushes to the height

Answering the ardour of the West, and as a rose

Quivers on the western cloud before the dayspring,

Divided as the East and West they are:

But upon ways invisible to mortal sense

Moves their bright union, where was created new

Love’s wondrous world; from the darkness it emerges;

It is their Evening and their Morning Star.

Out of the hollows of unpenetrated Night

From afar calls to them, though they have known it not,
