The soul in me, and lied—I know too late!

While your truth was truth: and I knew at once

My power was just my beauty—bear the word—

As I must bear, of all my qualities,

To name the poorest one that serves my soul

And simulates myself! So much in me

You loved, I know: the something that 's beneath

Heard not your call,—uncalled, no answer comes!

For, since in every love, or soon or late,

Soul must awake and seek out soul for soul,
