TWO MYSTICS, by                    
First Line: I have read in a worn old volume
Last Line: "and that fairy so loved and so loving,- / who can it be, dearest, but thee?"
Subject(s): Love;mysticism


I HAVE read in a worn old volume
Of a mystic grave and gray
Who saw in every flower
And wind an elfin fay.
And it filled the quaint old fellow
With awe and anxious dread
Of these creatures so quiet and dovelike
Around him and overhead.

So I too am surely a mystic,
Though I'm neither grave nor gray,
Nor believe in goblins and spectres
Who frighten one's wits away.
Yet I do believe in a fairy
Who, though absent, still seems with me,
And that fairy so loved and so loving, --
Who can it be, dearest, but thee?
