My delight and thy delight <br />Walking, like two angels white, <br />In the gardens of the night: <br /> <br />My desire and thy desire <br />Twining to a tongue of fire, <br />Leaping live, and laughing higher: <br /> <br />Thro' the everlasting strife <br />In the mystery of life. <br /> <br /> <br />Love, from whom the world begun, <br />Hath the secret of the sun. <br /> <br />Love can tell, and love alone, <br />Whence the million stars were strewn, <br />Why each atom knows its own, <br />How, in spite of woe and death, <br />Gay is life, and sweet is breath: <br /> <br />This he taught us, this we knew, <br />Happy in his science true, <br />Hand in hand as we stood <br />'Neath the shadows of the wood, <br />Heart to heart as we lay <br />In the dawning of the day.<br /><br />Robert Seymour Bridges<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-delight-and-thy-delight/
