First Line: Life doth no richer joy to man accord
Last Line: They put all faint resolves to headlong flight!
Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Desire; Love
Life doth no richer joy to man accord
Than to behold the Darling of Desire
Entrancedly awaiting Love's first word,
That master-word for which the Fates conspire!
The opals that her childing eyes have stored
A softer, deeper radiancy acquire—
Loadstars that scour the darkness of his night,
They put all faint resolves to headlong flight!
