| 119. Reflections |
| |
| |
| HOW shallow is this mere that gleams! | |
| Its depth of blue is from the skies, | |
| And from a distant sun the dreams | |
| And lovely light within your eyes. | |
| |
| We deem our love so infinite | 5 |
| Because the Lord is everywhere, | |
| And love awakening is made bright | |
| And bathed in that diviner air. | |
| |
| We go on our enchanted way | |
| And deem our hours immortal hours, | 10 |
| Who are but shadow kings that play | |
| With mirrored majesties and powers. | |
