JEALOUSY, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Youth met within a garden
Alternate Author Name(s): A. E.


YOUTH met within a garden,
And youth to youth revealed
Time's loveliest hidden secrets,
Things that were dead and sealed:


What domes of ivory wonder
Rose in the golden race:
What heavens were fabled o'er them -
For some face like this face.


Youth roamed by shore and mountain
And its new wisdom told:
But earth and sea were silent,
Their lovely faces cold.
