Poetry

One Way of Love

ONE way of love is the way of the young lover—

To take in his eager hands the whole of his being And try to bestow it away, to bend it over To grow in another's garden, to train its seeing

To see with the loved one's eyes, to make its heart

Beat with the beat that times the life of another —Union no temporal world could have power to part, • Completer than river with sea, than child with inother.

Poor young lover, aspiring beyond your powers,

Why do -you try the impossible, why with desire,..-

Barren as Dian's, reap and lay, low the hours Youth might have touched to flower and crowned with fire ?
