Thy worthiest love to a worthless counterfeit:
That was the chrism of love, which loves own crown,
In perfect, purple state; since when, indeed,
For thine and thee, an image only so
And ever since, it grew more clean and white,
For thine and thee, an image only so

Sorrow and sorrow ? Nay, I rather thrilled,
When we met first and loved, I did not build

To look through and behind this mask of me

In the new Heavens,--because nor sin nor woe,
A finger even. And, though I have grown serene
First time he kissed me, he but only kissed

And strong since then, I think that God has willed

And Love, be false ! if he, to keep one oath,
Distrusting every light that seemed to gild
Lest these enclasped hands should never hold,
The finger of this hand wherewith I write;
Of all that strong divineness which I know

Nor Gods infliction, nor deaths neighborhood,
Distrusting every light that seemed to gild
The dim and weary witness of lifes race,
