Poems
Scene II.—A terrace overlooking woods and hills
The Lover
Even as God's thought first formed and wrought the world
With colour and sun and seas and hills and woods,
So has my soul conceived and brought forth Love
And formed a world of Love where all fair things
Are born, and plaintive music and low words.
With colour and sun and seas and hills and woods,
So has my soul conceived and brought forth Love
And formed a world of Love where all fair things
Are born, and plaintive music and low words.
The Maiden
The clouds are stiller than the hills to-night.
The Lover
They are filled with exquisite peace and no desire.
