She (One Day, In Her Eyes) Poem by Maurice Harris

She is sunshine, whence before I saw only rain;
She is joy, whence I only ever knew pain;
She is truth, whence I experienced only deceit;
She is the love, with which I hope to make greet!

She is solace, whence I only knew grief-
She is the amorous Angel, who provides relief
For my ever-weary soul, in need of same;
She is my loftiest aspiration's heroine, now with a name!

She is calm, whence I only knew tumult;
She is my heart's captor, though I shan't want for revolt!
She is my North, South, East, and West-
My soul's one and only mate, to which my heart doth attest!
The former begs her consort, the latter, fidelity contrariwise-
Mine mind envisions all of same-one day, in her eyes!
