甜蜜的,绝望的小时的云和lightning and rain, You came like a vision of flowers And summer and song once again: You came, and I could not receive you, Seared in my flesh, in my sight. I heedlessly turned back to leave you; We passed on into the night. (Heart, soul and all, sweet, never to sever, Love me for ever!) Dearest, in hours of twilight, Terrible, silent and lone, When the light, long sought for as my light And found, for ever seemed gone ? When the hope of the love-dream of boyhood Passed sad with unknowing rebuff, With your passionate patience and joyhood You came, O my Priestess of Love! (Heart, soul and all, dear, never to sever, Love me for ever!) With your lips to mine deathly-reposing, You kissed back the blood and the sighs: You lit up my tired eyes unclosing With the light of your beautiful eyes. You held me close-pressed to your bosom, Your heart to my heart, beating strong, In mine eyes put your life like a blossom, Put my love in your lips like a song! (Heart, soul and all, sweet, never to sever, Love me for ever!) Dearest, of my heart-blood's Evangel I hail you Queen, and of me: Sweetest, I revere you Archangel Of the better time that shall be. So to these Songs, for my love's sake, As Priestess of Love must you stand, And, for the great Truth above's sake, God's seraph with his sword in your hand! (Heart, soul and all, dear, never to sever, Love me for ever!)
