As the turf at your feet does its handful of daisies;

That way lies my honor--my pathway of pride.

But, mark you, if greener grass grows either side,

I shall know it; and keeping the body with you,

Shall walk in my spirit with feet on the dew.

We’re married! Oh, pray that our love do not fail!

I have wings fastened down, hidden under my veil!

They are subtle as light--you can never undo them;

And swift in their flight--you can never pursue them;

And spite of all clasping and spite of all bands,
