One candle is enough. Its faint light

is more fitting, will be more winsome

when come Love’s— when its Shadows come.

One candle is enough. Tonight the room

can’t have too much light. In reverie complete,

and in suggestion’s power, and with that little light—

in that reverie: thus will I dream a vision

that there come Love’s— that its Shadows come.

[?; 1920]
