THE SOUL OF MY LOVE, by                    
First Line: If I could see your soul, sweet hauntress, as
Last Line: Lying together in the empurpled violet's heart.
Subject(s): Hearts; Love


IF I could see your soul, sweet hauntress, as a thing apart,
Would it be like a star, the light of which beams through those amber eyes,
Or would it be a flower-child plucked out fresh from Nature's heart,
A rose, perhaps, white as the brow of sleep, and veined with blue,
Or sacred lily rimmed with purity,
Or sheeny-silvered butterfly, or rose-fleeced summer cloud?

I sought all nature, filled with ardent sighs,
To find thy soul;
And was rewarded,
Seeing two drops of crystal dew
Lying together in the empurpled violet's heart.
