Love Song


Had I concealed my love
And you so loved me longer,
Since all the wise reprove
Confession of that hunger
In any human creature,
It had not been my nature.

I could not so insult
The beauty of that spirit
Who like a thunderbolt
Has broken me, or near it;
To love I have been candid,
Honest, and open-handed.

Although I love you well
And shall for ever love you,
I set that archangel
The depths of heaven above you;
And I shall lose you, keeping
His word, and no more weeping.

    "And I shall lose you, keeping His word, and no more weeping."

    I want to say both "Amen" and "Mmm, the holiness of love." I wish my Amen were more ambitious. Or taller. Or wider. But it is alive, at least.

    Darned if I'll sign this. :-)
