The little river twittering in the twilight,
The wan, look of the pale sky,
This is almost bliss.
everything shut up and gone to sleep,
All the and anxieties and pain
Gone under the twilight.
Only twilight now, and the soft “Sh!” of the
That will last for ever.
And at last I my love for you is here,
I can see all, it is whole like the twilight,
It is large, so large, I could not see it before
Because the little lights and flickers and interruptions,
Troubles, anxieties pains.
You are the call and I am the answer,
You are the wish, and I the fulfilment,
You the night, and I the day.
What else—it is enough,
It is perfectly complete,
You and I,
What more——?
Strange, how we suffer in spite of this!
