Elizabeth
And is thy home some heavenly place
Of calm eyes and unhurried breath? —
But yet thou lendest earth thy grace,
Elizabeth!
How much of beauty thou canst see
From where thy lovely soul looks out,
Beyond our flushed anxiety,
Beyond our doubt!
At times wouldst thou go join thine own
Within some starry sisterhood?
Thou wilt not leave us thus alone —
Thou art too good!
Thou, wistful, turnest back to us
Whenso that longing whispereth,
Still to make life more luminous,
Of calm eyes and unhurried breath? —
But yet thou lendest earth thy grace,
Elizabeth!
How much of beauty thou canst see
From where thy lovely soul looks out,
Beyond our flushed anxiety,
Beyond our doubt!
At times wouldst thou go join thine own
Within some starry sisterhood?
Thou wilt not leave us thus alone —
Thou art too good!
Thou, wistful, turnest back to us
Whenso that longing whispereth,
Still to make life more luminous,
