ONE DAY AND ANOTHER
PART I
LATE SPRING
IX

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 us two 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.
