RECOMPENSE, by                    
First Line: I'm glad I love you!
Last Line: And found—and lost—the vision.
Subject(s): Hearts; Love


I'M glad I love you!
Yes, tho the pain be sharp,
Tho the weak flesh still vibrates from your touch,
And sense and soul quiver in longing still.

Yes, I am glad!—
Glad when the earth forevermore is dark—
That for one moment I have scaled the heights,
Touched where the rose and gold of sunrise mingle,
Freed me from base earth mould,
And found—and lost—The Vision.
