THE ONE HOPE - ZaunköniG - 09.08.2014 THE ONE HOPE SINCE all my hope is still to meet her there In the clear light of inward heaven, that shines So closely focussed it at once divines Our secret thoughts if they be clean and fair, Or full of choking horrors, like the lair In which some beast on shreds of carrion dines, Then stretches prone in reek of moulted hair, And hunts in visions till he heaves and whines ; Since this is all my hope, and since I would Be at her feet received as at a shrine, Let every thought, and every wish of mine, And each desire that ripples through my blood, Be henceforth pure, and tender and divine As those white crowns that feed the mountain flood. |
