I Shall Give

I Shall Give

I shall give you my Love,

That’s like Music composed

Of what’s subtle and tough

And the best and the most,

Of the Melos and Tunes

And the Rhythms combined –

Under all dancing Moons

Making sensual Mind,

Under Suns that display

What must Passion reveal,

Under Stars to whom prays

Of the Eyes Milky Meal,

Under Galaxies’ Choir,

Constellations’ Ballet,

Those embodying Desire

In the Space open laid;

Over them be exalted

My Love sent to you:

Let in heavenly Vault

By the Music for Few

Now sound her Word –

Better spoken, her Breath –

May this Secret, her Cord,

Sing to you when you rest!..
