GRACE AND LOVE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Two flower-enfolding crystal vases she
Last Line: Their starry more from her and me, unite.
Subject(s): Love; Love - Unrequited; Vases


Two flower-enfolding crystal vases she
I love fills daily, mindful but of one:
And close behind pale morn she, like the sun
Priming our world with light, pours, sweet to see,
Clear water in the cup, and into me
The image of herself: and that being done,
Choice of what blooms round her fair garden run
In climbers or in creepers or the tree
She ranges with unerring fingers fine,
To harmony so vivid that through sight
I hear, I have her heavenliness to fold
Beyond the senses, where such love as mine,
Such grace as hers, should the strange Fates withhold
Their starry more from her and me, unite.
