I was again beside thee in a dream: <br />Earth was so beautiful, the moon was shining; <br />The muffled voice of many a cataract stream <br />Came like a love-song, as, with arms entwining, <br />Our hearts were mixed in unison supreme. <br /> <br />The wind lay spell-bound in each pillared pine, <br />The tasselled larches had no sound or motion, <br />As my whole life was sinking into thine-- <br />Sinking into a deep, unfathomed ocean <br />Of infinite love--uncircumscribed, divine. <br /> <br />Night held her breath, it seemed, with all her stars: <br />Eternal eyes that watched in mute compassion <br />Our little lives o'erleap their mortal bars, <br />Fused in the fulness of immortal passion, <br />A passion as immortal as the stars. <br /> <br />There was no longer any thee or me; <br />No sense of self, no wish or incompleteness <br />The moment, rounded to Eternity, <br />Annihilated time's destructive fleetness: <br />For all but love itself had ceased to be.<br /><br />Mathilde Blind<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-was-again-beside-thee-in-a-dream/
