XIX
Dost thou remember, Dear, the day
We met in those bare woods of May?
Each had a secret unconfessed,
Each sound a promise, in each nest.
Young wings a-tremble for the air,—
How we joined hands?—not knowing where
The springs that touch set free
Should find their sea.
Speechless—so sure we were to share
The unknown good to be.

The springs that touch set free
Should find their sea.
Speechless—so sure we were to share
