SOUL-LIGHT

14 lines
Dante Gabriel Rossetti·1828–1882·Symbolism
✦
hat other woman could be loved like you,Or how of you should love possess his fill?After the fulness of all rapture, still,--As at the end of some deep avenueA tender glamour of day,--there comes to viewFar in your eyes a yet more hungering thrill,--Such fire as Love's soul-winnowing hands distilEven from his inmost arc of light and dew. And as the traveller triumphs with the sun,Glorying in heat's mid-height, yet startide bringsWonder new-born, and still fresh transport springsFrom limpid lambent hours of day begun;--Even so, through eyes and voice, your soul doth moveMy soul with changeful light of infinite love.
