THE FOREST


Lost in a desolate country,

I travelled far to find

what only you could give me ---

the equal heart and mind

that answer love in kind

And now while you lie sleeping,

awake but not alone,

I made this midnight blessing,

because the years have grown

to truths beyond your own

The heart can blaze with candour

as though it housed a star;

but this my midnight splendour

is not my own to wear:

it lights by what you are.
