A GIRL,
Her soul a deep-wave pearl
Dim, lucent of all lovely mysteries ;
A face flowered for heart's ease,
A brow's grace soft as seas
Seen through faint forest-trees :
A mouth, the lips apart.
Like aspen-leaflets trembling in the breeze
From her tempestuous heart.
Such : and our souls so knit,
I leave a page half-writ —
The work begun
Will be to heaven's conception done,
If she come to it.
