PART I
LATE SPRING
9

Leaving the garden for the lane. He, with lightness of heart

We will leave reason,

Sweet, for a season;

Reason were treason

Now that the nether

Spaces are clad, oh,

In silvery shadow —

We will be glad, oh,

Glad as this weather!

She, responding to his mood:

Heart unto heart, where the moonlight is slanted,

Let us believe that our souls are enchanted: —

I in the castle-keep; you are the airy

Prince who comes seeking me; Love is the Fairy

Bringing our hearts together.

Starlight in masses

Over us passes;

And in the grass is

Many a flower:

Now will you tell me

How'd you enspell me?

What once befell me

There in your bower?

SHE

Soul unto soul – in the moon's wizard glory,

Let us believe we are parts in a story: —

I am a poem; a poet you hear it

Whispered in star and in flower; a Spirit,

Love, puts my soul in your power.
