- THE LOVER TELLS OF THE ROSE IN HIS HEART
-
- ALL things uncomely and broken, all things worn out
- and old,
- The cry of a child by the roadway, the creak of a lum-
- bering cart,
- The heavy steps of the ploughman, splashing the
- wintry mould,
- Are wronging your image that blossoms a rose in the
- deeps of my heart.
- The wrong of unshapely things is a wrong too great
- to be told;
- I hunger to build them anew and sit on a green knoll
- apart,
- With the earth and the sky and the water, re-made, like
- a casket of gold
- For my dreams of your image that blossoms a rose in
- the deeps of my heart.
