One And One.

Topics: classic

The thanking heart can only silence keep;     The breaking heart can only die alone:     Our happy love above abysses deep     Of unguessed power hovers, and is gone!     Come, take my hand, O friend I take for life!     You cannot reach my soul through touch or gaze;     Be our full lips with infinite meanings rife:     The longed-for words, which of us ever says?
