My secrets cry aloud.
I have no need for tongue.
My heart keeps open house,
My doors are widely swung.
An epic of the eyes
My love, with no disguise.

Open House (1941)

And I dance with William Blake
For love, for Love's sake; And everything comes to One,
As we dance on, dance on, dance on.

The Far Field (1964)
