RECOGNITION by GRACE DENIO LITCHFIELD

First Line: AS ERST WITH THEE, O PSYCHE, SO ME-SEEMS
Last Line: I KNEW HIM FOR A GOD!
Subject(s): LOVE;

As erst with thee, O Psyche, so me-seems
My wandering hands touched Love once in my dreams.
Asleep he lay. Around us drooped the night.
No gracious star-beam lent revealing light.
I saw his form not, nor his matchless grace.
And yet, unlike to thee,
Need was not I should look him in the face.
By that one touch, all in a moment's space,
I knew him for a God!
