Sonnet VI-X

Go farther ! let it serve to trample on.
The colours from my life, and left so dead
Serenely in the sunshine as before,
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
And laid them on the outside of the-wall
And worthy of acceptation. Fire is bright,
Henceforward in thy shadow. Nevermore
Since first I heard the footsteps of thy soul
Who love God, God accepts while loving so.
Henceforth in thy shadow. Nevermore
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Let temple burn, or flax; an equal light
And what I feel, across the inferior features
Not so; not cold,--but very poor instead.
And sees within my eyes the tears of two.
God gave for baptism, I am fain to drink,
Ask God who knows. For frequent tears have run
With pulses that beat double. What I do
And love is fire. And when I say at need
The face of all the world is changed, I think,
The names of country, heaven, are changed away
Thy touch upon the palm. The widest land
For such as I to take or leave withal,
The uses of my soul, nor lift my hand
And what I feel, across the inferior features
That this can scarce be right! We are not peers,
Was caught up into love, and taught the 九*九*藏*書whole
Move still, oh, still, beside me, as they stole
I stand transfigured, glorified aright,
The names of country, heaven, are changed away
Of life in a new rhythm. The cup of dole
God gave for baptism, I am fain to drink,
And laid them on the outside of the wall
Re-sighing on my lips renunciative
Beloved, I only love thee! let it pass.
And what I dream include thee, as the wine
Yet, love, mere love, is beautiful indeed
Because thy name moves right in what they say.
Was caught up into love, and taught the whole

For where thou art or shalt be, there or here;

Alone upon the threshold of my door
Serenely in the sunshine as before,

Ungrateful, that for these most manifold
Can it be right to give what I can give ?
Must taste of its own grapes. And when I sue
Be counted with the ungenerous. Out, alas !
I will not soil thy purple with my dust,
Thy touch upon the palm. The widest land
What can I give thee back, O liberal
Yet, love, mere love, is beautiful indeed
As salt as mine, and hear the sighing years
Beloved, I九_九_藏_書 only love thee ! let it pass.
Nor breathe my poison on thy Venice-glass,
Without the sense of that which I forbore--
And what I dream include thee, as the wine
I love thee . . . mark ! . . . I love thee--in thy sight

And purple of thine heart, unstained, untold,
For all thy adjurations ? O my fears,

Out of my face toward thine. Theres nothing low
To give the same as pillow to thy head.

Ask God who knows. For frequent tears have run
Doom takes to part us, leaves thy heart in mine

That this can scarce be right ! We are not peers,
And worthy of acceptation. Fire is bright,
I will not soil thy purple with my dust,
Go from me. Yet I feel that I shall stand
In unexpected largesse? am I cold,
The face of all the world is changed, I think,
With conscience of the new rays that proceed
Who love God, God accepts while loving so.

Of obvious death, where I, who thought to sink,
Re-sighing on my lips renunciative
Nor breathe my poison on thy Venice-glass,
And pale a stuff, it were not fitly done
Nor give thee any love--which were unjust.
Let temple burn, or flax; an equal light
Of obvious death, where I, who thought to sink,
For where thou art or shalt be, there or here;

In love, when love the lowest: meanest creatures
The colors from my life, and left so dead
Betwixt me and the dreadful outer brink
And love is fire. And when I say at need
Doom takes to part us, leaves thy heart in mine
How that great work of Love enhances Natures.
As salt as mine, and hear the sighing years
And praise its sweetness, Sweet, with thee anear.
Be counted with the ungenerous. Out, alas!
Betwixt me and the dreadful outer brink
Since first I heard the footsteps of thy soul
Leaps in the flame from cedar-plank or weed:
And pale a stuff, it were not fitly done
So to be lovers; and I own, and grieve,

Can it be right to give what I can give?
God for myself, He hears that name of th九-九-藏-書ine,
Of individual life, I shall command
How that great work of Love enhances Natures.
Ungrateful, that for these most manifold
I stand transfigured, glorified aright,
Of life in a new rhythm. The cup of dole
Go farther! let it serve to trample on.
And princely giver, who hast brought the gold
In love, when love the lowest: meanest creatures
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Through those infrequent smiles which fail to live
I love thee...mark!...I love thee--in thy sight
And purple of thine heart, unstained, untold,
Through those infrequent smiles which fail to live
Sonnet IX: Can It Be Right to Give
Not so; not cold,--but very poor instead.
High gifts, I render nothing back at all?
Must taste of its own grapes. And when I sue
To let thee sit beneath the fall of tears
For such as I to take or leave withal,
High gifts, I render nothing back at all ?
Go from me. Yet I feel that I shall stand
With pulses that beat double. What I do
In unexpected largesse ? am I cold,
Of what I am, doth flash itself, and show
And praise its sweetness, Sweet, with thee anear.
Of what I am, doth flash itself, and show
