II.Are not the heavens wide? And yet, Until all journeyings be done, No star shall change the orbit set, That marks its journey round the sun. And, sweet, we travel down our days, As the stars wander in their sky; We cannot change our fated ways, But meet and greet and hasten by. III.I breathed a name once and again, I said a bitter thing in my pain, “I gave you all my love, and I spent it all in vain!” Then I saw a form across the night Glide down the stars in a veil of light, And I said, “Who are you, dweller of the Infinite?” And I heard a voice on the stilly air, “You chide amiss in your own despair; Lo, I am the soul of her love, and I follow you everywhere!” |
