'Blooms there for me a white and petal'd flower
Wherein my soul might fold its wings and rest?
Heart-weariness doth hold me every hour,
I cannot quell the tumult of my breast!
Yet in the silence stands thy love confest—
I feel thy winnowing wings about my soul,
I dare not go beyond their mute control.
