And for those two, your pilgrims without tears,
Who prayed a largess where there was no
dearth,
Forgive it to their human-happy ears:
Forgive it them, brown music of the Earth,
Unknowing,—though the wiser
silence knew!
Forgive it to the music of the spheres
That while they walked together so, the
Two
Together,—heard
not you.
ENVOI
Beloved, till the day break,
Leave wide the little door;
And bless, to lack and longing,
Our brimming more-and-more.
Is love a scanted portion,
That we should hoard thereof?—
Oh, call unto the deserts,
Beloved and my Love!
