Union
When lonely we two were one at the sea
Pondering the swishing times we couldn't foresee
I whispered my dateless love to you in a breezy tune;
Your hair fell like night, your face shone like the moon,
And I counted sand-stars in the secrets of your skin,
And the delirious waves went on roaring
The words our hearts couldn't break to the world;
And I felt with my fingers what only the tides could feel-
The nervous ruggedness of the cheeks of the rocks,
The fruitful stretches of your fertility,
And all our ancient fears deliquesced, and we laughed.
