I love all beauteous things,
I seek and adore them.
But I can tell — let truth be told —
That love will change in growing old;
Though day by day is nought to see,
So delicate his motions be.
Shorter Poems (1879)
When first we met we did not guess
That Love would prove so hard a master.
Awake, my heart, to be loved, awake, awake!
The darkness silvers away, the morn doth break,
It leaps in the sky.
Surely thy body is thy mind,
For in thy face is nought to find,
Only thy soft unchristened smile,
That shadows neither love nor guile.
