TAKE WHOM YOU WILL, by                    
First Line: Take whom you will for mistress; let me be
Last Line: Make me companion of the hopeless quest.
Subject(s): Love - Nature Of


Take whom you will for mistress; let me be
Someone unknown in sleep or in desire,
Touching your mind at evening as the sea
The beach to give fluidity for fire.
Call whom you will your lover; let me walk
The star-etched hills of Vision by your side;
Turn me your face and let me hear you talk
Of mountains beyond mountains where we ride.

I shall not wish your fingers in my hair,
Nor yet be frightened with my lips unkissed;
Even my breast forgets its aching where
Is granted me the beauty I have missed.
Take whom you will within your arms for rest;
Make me companion of the Hopeless Quest.
