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.
