A Sonnet (One Heart)

One heart, one heart is all I’m dreaming of

One heart upon this sullen earth I seek.

A heart to tremble with my heart in love,

So that I be a meek one mid the meek.

One pair of lips, wherefrom my lips for aye

Would drink the drink of joy with no constraints.

Two eyes that I could marvel at each day,

And see myself a saint among the saints.

One heart I need, two hands both soft and white

To veil my eyes and gently bar the light,

So I may fall asleep and by a touch

Of an angel’s cheek be carried to the sky.

One heart, one heart, so little though need I,

I see and know that I demand too much.
