How should I sing you ? — you who dwell unseen <br />Within the darkest chamber of my heart. <br />What picturesque and inward-turning art <br /> <br />Could shadow forth the image of my queen. <br /> <br />Sweet, world aloof, ineffably serene <br />Like holy dawn, yet so entirely part <br />Of what am I, as well a man might start <br /> <br />To paint his breathing, or his red blood's sheen. <br /> <br />Nay, seek yourself, who are their truest breath, <br />In these my songs made for delight of men. <br /> <br />Oh, where they fail, 'tis I that am in blame. <br />But, where the words loom larger than my pen. <br />Be sure they ring glad echoes of your name, <br />And Love that triumphs over Life and Death.<br /><br />Frederick William (FW) Harvey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-you-unsung/
