That joins two kindred souls in one;
And when they meet, amid earth’s strife,
The same bright path they journey on.
Heart yields to heart a living strength,
And thought to thought increase of light,
Until their happy days at length
Well nigh partake of heaven’s delight.
’Tis not the high and manly brow
Enlinked to beauty’s witching charm,
Can make such deep-soul’d passion glow,
