ç <br /> <br /> <br />While the snow-frail maiden, <br />Waits the time of learning, <br />To the passion laden <br />Turn with eager yearning. <br /> <br /> <br />While the heart is burning <br />Heaven with earth is banded: <br />To the stars returning <br />Go not empty-handed. <br /> <br /> <br />Ah, the snow-frail maiden! <br />Somehow truth has missed her, <br />Left the heart unladen <br />For its burdened sister.<br /><br />George William Russell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/light-and-dark-20/
