Song of Songs

Sing me at morn but only with your laugh;
Even as Spring that laugheth into leaf;
Even as Love that laugheth after Life.
 
 
Sing me but only with your speech all day,
As voluble leaflets do; let viols die;
The least word of your lips is melody!
 
 
Sing me at eve but only your sigh!
Like lifting seas it solaceth; breathe so,
Slowly and low, the sense that no songs say.
 
 
Sing me at midnight with your murmurous heart!
Let youth’s immortal—moaning chord be heard
Throbbing through you, and sobbing, unsubdued.
