Your looks have touched my soul with bright <br />Ineffable emotion; <br />As moonbeams on a stormy night <br />Illume with transitory light <br />A seagull on her lonely flight <br />Across the lonely ocean. <br /> <br />Fluttering from out the gloom and roar, <br />On fitful wing she flies, <br />Moon-white above the moon-washed shore; <br />Then, drowned in darkness as before, <br />She's lost, as I when lit no more <br />By your beloved eyes.<br /><br />Mathilde Blind<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/your-looks-have-touched-my-soul/
