Sudden and strange the meeting—improvised?
Bless you, the last event she hoped or dreamed!
But rude sharp stroke will crush out fire from flint—
Assuredly from flesh. ''T is you?' 'Myself!'
'Changed?' 'Changeless!' 'Then, what 's earth to me?' 'To me
What 's heaven?' 'So,—thine!' 'And thine!' 'And likewise mine!'
Had laughed 'Amen' the devil, but for me
Whose intermeddling hinders this hot haste,
And bids you, ere concluding contract, pause—
Ponder one lesson more, then sign and seal
