To the sweet air

That breathed upon my face

The spirit of lilies in a leafy place,

Your breath's caress, the lingering of your hair,

I said—"In all your wandering through the dusk,

Your waitings on the marriages of flowers

Through the long, intimate hours

When soul and sense, desire and love confer,

You must have known the best that God has made.

What do you know of Her?"
