The Invisible Bride

The low-voiced girls that go
In gardens of the Lord,
Like flowers of the field they grow
In sisterly accord.


Their whispering feet are white
Along the leafy ways;
They go in whirls of light
Too beautiful for praise.


And in their band forsooth
Is one to set me free—
The one that touched my youth—
The one God gave to me.
