In fond delusion once I left thy side;<br />

Unto the wide world's end I fain would fare.<br />

To see if I might find Love anywhere.<br />

And lovingly embrace Love as a bride.<br />

Love sought I in all paths, at every gate;<br />

Oft and again outstretching suppliant palms,<br />

I begged in vain of Love the slightest alms.<br />

But the world laughed and offered me cold hate.<br />

Forever I aspired towards Love, forever<br />

Towards Love, and ne'ertheless I found Love never,.<br />

And sick at heart, homeward my steps did move.<br />

And lo! thou comest forth to welcome me;<br />

And that which in thy swimming eyes I see.<br />

That is the precious, the long-looked for Love.<br />
