Love, The Interpreter.

Topics: classic

Thou art the music that I hear in sleep,     The poetry that lures me on in dreams;     The magic, thou, that holds my thought with themes     Of young romance in revery's mystic keep.     The lily's aura, and the damask deep     That clothes the rose; the whispering soul that seems     To haunt the wind; the rainbow light that streams,     Like some wild spirit, 'thwart the cataract's leap     Are glimmerings of thee and thy loveliness,     Pervading all my world; interpreting     The marvel and the wonder these disclose:     For, lacking thee, to me were meaningless     Life, love and hope, the joy of every thing,     And all the beauty that the wide world knows.
