First Line: Dear, through the silence comes a vibrant call
Last Line: We meet, we merge, we are one; I thou; thou me!
Alternate Author Name(s): Macleod, Fiona
Subject(s): Death; Love; Dead, The


Dear, through the silence comes a vibrant call,
Thy voice, thy very voice it is, O Sweet!
Yet who shall scale the dread invisible wall
That guards the Eden where our souls would meet?
O veil of flesh, O dull mortality,
Is there no vision for the enfranchised eyes:
Must we stoop low thro' Death's green-glooms to see
The immaculate light known of our winged sighs?
Nay, Love; of body or soul no shadow or gloom
Can always; always, thee and me dispart;
Soul of my soul, thro' the very gates of Doom
Even as deep to deep, heart crieth to heart --
Yea, as two moving waves on Life's wild sea;
We meet, we merge, we are one; I thou; thou me!
