Two In One
Were thou and I the white pinions On some eager, heaven-born dove, Swift would we mount to the old dominions, To our rest of old, my love! Were thou and I trembling strands In music's enchanted line, We would wait and wait for magic hands To untwist the magic twine. Were we two sky-tints, thou and I, Thou the golden, I the red; We would quiver and glow and darken and die, And love until we were dead! Nearer than wings of one dove, Than tones or colours in chord, We are one--and safe, and for ever, my love, Two thoughts in the heart of one Lord.
