Question

alice meynell
i must not think of thee; and, tired yet strong,
i shun the love that lurks in all delight—
the love of thee—and in the blue heavens height,
and in the dearest passage of a song.
oh, just beyond the sweetest thoughts that throng⁵
this breast, the thought of thee waits hidden yet bright;
but it must never, never come in sight;
i must stop short of thee the whole day long.
but when sleep comes to close each difficult day,
when night gives pause to the long watch i keep,¹⁰
and all my bonds i needs must loose apart,
must doff my will as raiment laid away,—
with the first dream that comes with the first sleep
i run, i run, i am gatherd to thy heart.
