WHEN the great universe hung nebulous Betwixt the unprevented and the need, Was it foreseen that you and I should be? -- Was it decreed? While time leaned onward through eternities, Unrippled by a breath and undistraught, Lay there at leisure Will that we should breathe? -- Waited a Thought? When the warm swirl of chaos-elements Fashioned the chance that woke to sentient strife, Did there a Longing seek, and hasten on Our mutual life? That flux of many accidents but now That brought you near and linked your hand in mine, -- That fused our souls in love's most final faith, -- Was it divine? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A WOMAN WITH FLAXEN HAIR IN NORFOLK HEARD by ROBERT KELLY YESTERDAY FROM MY FEVER by GALWAY KINNELL IF YOU COULD COME SOFTLY by AUDRE LORDE MISGIVINGS by WILLIAM MATTHEWS NOW THAT YOU'RE HERE by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS SILENT IN THE MOONLIGHT by ROBERT BLY A DISMISSAL by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON |
